Kiva Room, Student Union, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ
Faculty members, professionals, graduate and undergraduate students are invited to present their research at the 2nd annual joint symposium of the National Phenology Network (NPN) and the Southwest US Region of the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS). The symposium will be held on Friday, October 10th, 2008 on the University of Arizona campus and is coordinated in conjunction with the Research Insights in Semiarid Ecosystems (RISE) Symposium*.
All research topics related to the "Phenology of Southwest Landscapes" are encouraged and may be presented in oral or poster format. Research themes at our last meeting were diverse, ranging from the monitoring of plant phenology using digital repeat photography to the evaluation of vegetation phenological responses to drought and phenology as an integrative science for the assessment of global change impacts. Strongly encouraged for participation in this year's NPN-ASPRS symposium are themes related to links between phenology and climate change.
