Deadline for abstracts approaching fast!
Dear colleagues,
You are invited to submit your abstract until the 15th of May, 2020 for the GEO BON Open Science Conference & All Hands Meeting 2020.
The conference will take place from the 6th to the 10th of July 2020 in “fully virtual” format, due to the current Covid-19 restrictions.
The event brings together all those involved and interested in the development of Biodiversity Observation Networks and Essential Biodiversity Variables, as well as their potential to support global biodiversity monitoring and conservation.
If you would like to present your work as a scheduled talk or during one of the poster sessions, then please submit an abstract of your work via our online submission portal ( <https://geobon.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a18bdfad5e7d2ebbb3dd942a7…> https://conf2020.geobon.org/) no later than the 15th of May, 2020.

Assunto: ELI: Call for a Special Issue in the journal Social-Ecological
Practice Research

Dear all,
please find below a call for a Special Issue entitled "Open System
Modelling Frameworks toward a Better Understanding of Multi-Scale
Interactions in Socio-Ecological Systems" is published in the
Socio-Ecological Practice Research Journal
(https://www.springer.com/journal/42532). A detailed description is
online available
(https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/173596…).
_Abstract_
Anthropogenically dominated landscapes bring up multi-faceted
socio-ecological systems where no monitoring technique or model platform
is sufficient to simulate and assess the often non-linear feedback loops
across scales. To advance the development of complex socio-ecological
modelling approaches, different knowledge sources, inter- and
transdisciplinary concepts along the edge of social, economic as well as
ecological sciences have to be combined in open modelling systems.
Converting modelling outcomes into sustainable resource management will
strengthen the understanding between short-running policy-impacts,
mid-term societal demands as well as long-lasting ecosystem health
trends. Studies may focus on smart technologies to bridge the gap
between scholars and practitioners. At the science-policy interface, the
Special Issue aims at gaining new insights in analyzing and modelling
human-nature interactions by addressing (I) significant findings about
socio-economic and environmental interactions, (II) identifying modern
model architectures or describing model applications as well as (III)
recommending management strategies to strengthen decison- and policy-makers.
For more information, please be so kind to contact Martin Schultze,
martin.schutze(a)geo.uni-halle.de.
Kind greetings and stay healthy!
Yours
Christine

Subject: DRAFT AGENDA - XI Workshop of the Silva Mediterranea Working Group
on UPF
Dear Colleague,
As a follow up to my message of Monday 30 March (see below), please find
attached the draft agenda of the XI Workshop of the Silva Mediterranea WG on
UPF.
The workshop will be structured into four 90-minutes sessions:
Session 1 - The Working Group in the framework of Silva Mediterranea
Session 2 - Inspirational UPF projects developed in the Region
Session 3 - Revising activities and work plan
Session 4 - What next?
For Session 2, in particular, the aim is to share information on UPF-related
projects/studies that are either ongoing or currently under development in
the Region at local/national/international level. Should you have
interesting cases to report on (even not directly developed by you), please
let us know by Thursday this week (9 April) in order for us to include your
presentation in the final programme of the event that will be sent out on
Friday. We are also planning to send a short questionnaire to help us
better orient the discussion.
Feel free to share this message within your professional networks,
requesting those who are interested to write to us so that we can include
them in the mailing list for the event.
Best regards,
Michela Conigliaro (on behalf of the Secretariat of the Silva Mediterranea

Objet : MOOC Landscape Ecology: self-paced re-run due to Corona Situation
Self-Paced Re-Run due to Corona Situation
Dear colleagues, dear students,
due to the Corona Situation University teachers and students are in
desperate need of distant learning tools. We thus decided to re-run the MOOC
Landscape Ecology as a self-paced version until Sept. when the next regular
course starts. We would like to give everyone the opportunity to use this
particular time to learn about landscape ecology and to use parts or the
entire course to enrich the current distant learning efforts. Note that this
course is a re-run from our last year's instructor-paced edition. Any
content and notes related to due dates are now irrelevant in the self-paced
mode. And, we cannot provide any support in the discussion sections,
therefore students are requested to help each other. Enjoy the course and
stay safe!
The course features theory, methods and tools to solve landscape-related
environmental problems. Building on introductory theory units, leading
Landscape Ecology professors present case studies from around the world,
highlighting innovative and collaborative approaches.
Head to our course page to find out more:
<https://www.edx.org/course/landscape-ecology-2>
https://www.edx.org/course/landscape-ecology-3
Help us spread the word - please forward this email to interested
colleagues, and post it on social media channels and websites of your
organisations (IALE, IUFRO, IFLA, Landscape Observatory etc.). Thanks!
Best regards,
Felix Kienast
