Research Insights in Semiarid Ecosystems (RISE) Symposium
The fifth annual Research Insights in Semiarid Ecosystems (RISE) Symposium will feature invited speakers presenting recent research on the USDA-ARS Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed, University of Arizona Santa Rita Experimental Range and other outdoor laboratories. There will also be a poster session where students and researchers are encouraged to report on completed or in-progress studies. Time will be available for questions from the audience.
Please use the web site http://www.tucson.ars.ag.gov/rise/ to view the RISE program, to register for the symposium, and to submit poster titles.
Registration: $10 for students; $20 for all others (lunch included)
The deadline for registration is 30 September 2008, but earlier registration will assist event planning. Submission deadline for poster presentation is 15 September 2008. We have space for only 20 posters, and poster abstracts will be accepted in order of submission.
