Dear colleagues,
A symposium
Celebrating 50 years of Ecosystem Research: Peatland Biogeochemistry and
Watershed Hydrology at the Marcell Experimental Forest
will be held 23-25 June 2009
in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, USA
A 3 day symposium will be held in June 2009 to celebrate the science legacy
of the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF). Leading up to the 50th
Anniversary in 2010 and the publication of a book on the MEF, we are
convening a conference to synthesize past research, current research
efforts, and exciting prospects for future research in peatland / upland
systems. A poster session is also planned to highlight research at the MEF
and other work from throughout the Lake States region and elsewhere.
In addition to the scientific program:
There will be a field visit to the MEF to tour the new science research
center, new and old research sites, and time for those interested in just
exploring and enjoying the forest.
There are many opportunities for outdoor recreation at the conference
facilities and throughout the region, more information will be forthcoming.
We will have a dinner banquet on June 24th that will provide the
opportunity to share memories with members of the MEF community.
Conference registration and lodging information will come soon, but please
add the symposium dates to your calendar. To receive further conference
