Dear Colleagues and Friends,
I would appreciate your help in sharing the following opportunity with
potentially interested individuals (e.g., students, postdoctoral
fellows, junior faculty and researchers). Many thanks!
*** NASA-MSU Professional Enhancement Awards ***
With support from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) and Michigan State University (MSU), NASA-MSU Professional
Enhancement Awards
<https://www.canr.msu.edu/csis/education/nasa_msu_award/> are given to
students, postdocs, and junior researchers (e.g., assistant professors)
to cover expenses associated with attending the meeting of IALE-North
America <https://www.ialena.org/annual-meeting.html> (North America
Regional Association of the International Association for Landscape
Ecology), which will be held in Athens, Georgia, April 26-30, 2026. This
will be the 25th anniversary of the NASA-MSU Program.
The application materials include a cover letter, application form,
abstract, resume/CV, and budget. *The abstract should also have been
submitted to the IALE-NA meeting website
<https://www.ialena.org/abstracts.html>*. Applications are judged based
on the merits of the applicants' abstracts, financial needs, and
professional backgrounds and goals.
Presentations (oral or poster) should focus on telecoupling
<https://www.canr.msu.edu/telecoupling/> (environmental-socioeconomic
interactions over distances, such as human and animal migration, species
dispersal, species invasion, disease spread, sound/noise transmission,
spread of pollutants and wastes, trade of goods and products, flows of
ecosystem services, environmental and hydrological flows, foreign
investment, technology transfer, water transfer, and tourism) and/or
metacoupling
<https://www.canr.msu.edu/resources/national-science-review-leveraging-the-m…>.
Topics may include applications of the telecoupling framework
<https://www.canr.msu.edu/resources/framing-sustainability-telecoupled-world>
or metacoupling framework
<https://www.canr.msu.edu/resources/integration-across-metacoupled-world>
to address issues across landscapes or coupled human and natural systems
(e.g., dynamics, pattern, process, structure, function, and
sustainability). For more information about coupled human and natural
systems, please see: Science
<https://www.canr.msu.edu/resources/complexity-coupled-human-and-natural-sys…>
and Ambio <https://www.canr.msu.edu/csis/archive/chans_ambio_2007.pdf>.
Awardees will also have opportunities to interact with some leading
scientists and other meeting attendees, including a special dinner on
April 27, and telecoupling / metacoupling workshop #4
(_https://www.ialena.org/workshops-2026.html
<https://www.ialena.org/workshops-2026.html>_ ) and symposium #5
(https://www.ialena.org/symposia-2026.html
<https://www.ialena.org/symposia-2026.html>).
Students, postdocs, and other junior scholars (e.g., assistant
professors) from around the world (except former award recipients) are

Dear IUFRO members:
IUFRO approved our proposed Task Force on Legacy Forest Data and Related
Resources (T57
https://www.iufro.org/task-forces/t57-legacy-forest-data-and-related-resour…)
The purpose of this Task Force is to contribute to the rescue, curation,
and use of Legacy Forest Information Resources. These resources are
older data and other sources that are useful for forest restoration and
many other purposes. But they are in danger of being lost due to
existing only on paper or older digital formats.
We are also forming a Consortium on Legacy Forest Information
Resources linked to the Task Force, so all can participate who are
interested in legacy forest information resources. There was more
interest than we could accommodate in the Task Force group. If you would
like to participate in the Consortium, please fill out the Google Form
at
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe1AbTK29G4rpDXdRgBF5nXDP49aWUsIxd…
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe1AbTK29G4rpDXdRgBF5nXDP49aWUsIxd…>,
and we will invite you to join and contribute to the online discussion
“spaces” (using Google Chat) on various topics. Please also share this
invitation with others.
Thank you!
