Hello Landscape Ecologists!
Please consider the following message and survey request from
colleague Kim Hall:
Circuitscape (http://www.circuitscape.org/) is a widely-used open
source software program that borrows ideas from circuit theory to
assess landscape connectivity. While the range of applications for
Circuitscape has continued to grow since it was first developed by
Brad McRae and Viral Shah over a decade ago, computational limitations
hinder its ability to solve large problems. Before Brad McRae passed
away from cancer in July 2017, he received funding from NASA’s Earth
Science Applications: Ecological Forecasting program to lead a team
with Viral, now at Julia Computing, to overhaul the software and add
functionality. Viral and several of Brad’s colleagues at The Nature
Conservancy (TNC), with help from many of Brad’s friends and
collaborators, are continuing this important work, and we need your
help! If you are a Circuitscape user, or would like to be, please
follow this survey link to learn more about this project, and provide
your input -- https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CircuitscapeUsers
Thank you! Kim Hall, The Nature Conservancy. kimberly.hall(a)tnc.org

Dear members,
with apologies for cross posting, from the IUFRO LE Urban Forestry
Coordinator:
Dear Friends, I inform you that I am a guest editor of the special
issue of Remote Sensing (MDPI) "Remote Sensing of Urban Forests". I
think it can be a good opportunity to involve colleagues in our
network also in view of the Posadas conference.
For more information, please see
https://www.researchgate.net/project/Special-Issue-of-Remote-Sensing-MDPI-R…. Deadline for manuscript submissions: 28 November
2018
All the best
Giovanni

Dear IUFRO Landscape Ecology WP members,
The CALL FOR ABSTRACTS for the IUFRO Conference “Adaptive Management
for Forested Landscapes in Transformation“, October 1-5, Posadas,
Misiones, Argentina, is now OPEN:
http://iufro2018posadas.com/sessions/call-for-abstracts/
The deadline is April 30th.
This conference will highlight accelerated changes imprinted in our
planet within the Anthropocene. We welcome presentations and posters
targeting forest changes and landscape transformation as a consequence
of increasing pressures of globalization, population growth, resource
scarcity and ecological degradation -the BIG challenges ahead.
Operational solutions and state of the art methods are at the centre
of the conference.
Within the framework of this Conference we will focus on key topics to
assess problems but also to find solutions towards a better future in
forested landscapes.
Also, the Call for Forums is still open:
http://iufro2018posadas.com/call-for-sessions-and-forums/
For more information visit the Conference website at
http://iufro2018posadas.com/
Looking forward to original ideas on knowledge sharing!
Please spread the news in your networks!
See you all this year in Argentina!
