Remote Participation
In recognition of the environmental impact of the travel involved in
bringing together hundreds of Landscape Ecologists to our annual
conference, IALE-North America is exploring options for remote
presentation and remote access to presentation content. We hope to use
the 2020 conference as a test bed for new ideas in remote delivery,
while recognizing there may be unforeseen issues. This is likely to be a
several years long experiment.
At this time, we plan to offer and test the following remote-delivery
options at the 2020 conference to be held in Toronto:
* Plenary talks webcast live and recorded for later viewing online
* One session of remote presenters offered in one room for a specific
time period
* Voluntary submission of Powerpoint presentations (PDF format,
optionally with voice-over narration) so that they can be made
accessible to those who have paid to participate in the conference,
including remote presenters
Please note that remote presenters will pay the normal registration fee
due to the fixed costs involved in providing the annual conference, as
well as additional effort and cost involved in setting up the remote
option.
The 2020 conference online abstract submission form offers checkboxes to
indicate interest in participating as a remote presenter and/or
willingness to share Powerpoint presentations.
Sincerely,
Janet Silbernagel, IALE-North America President
Workshops Announced
Eight workshops will be offered at the IALE-North America 2020 Annual
Meeting. Please note: pre-registration and additional fees are required
for all workshops (pricing will be posted soon). Read workshop overviews

Objet : we're looking for postdoc, PhD, MSc applicants and more!!
Hi Folks,
I’m launching an exciting new pan-Canadian network that brings together over 50 researchers from nearly a dozen universities, working alongside 17 government, industry, and NGO partners who aim to transform Canada’s capacity to monitor, model, and manage its working landscapes and all the ecosystem services they provide for long-term well-being and shared prosperity of all Canadians.
We are building our team, with many openings for positions in project management, data management, and a variety of research (including postdoctoral, PhD, MSc, and undergraduate) positions. Please pass this email along to anyone you know in this field who is currently looking for a position to work on exciting ecosystem service projects!
I’ve listed two modelling-oriented postdoctoral positions below; you can find more information about several other PhD and MSc positions and more on my website <http://bennettlab.weebly.com/join-the-lab.html> . These positions span the ES-research space from governance to GIS to modelling. There really is something for everyone interested in using ES to improve management of working landscapes!
(Note - most positions are not in my lab, but based with other teams in a variety of locations across Canada. However, as PI of the network, I’m happy to answer questions about any positions!)
Hope everyone is doing well.
Best,
Elena

Duration: 2 years
Location: McGill University
Supervisors: Dr. Andrew Gonzalez (McGill) and Dr. Marie-Josée Fortin (Toronto)
We are seeking an exceptional postdoctoral researcher to conduct research on the problem of identifying and monitoring change in spatial networks of biodiversity and ecosystem service (ES) supply. The PDF will develop appropriate quantitative methods and apply them to a selection of Canadian resource use landscapes.
The specific research objectives are (i) using existing data to identify spatial ES networks in our six partner landscapes, (ii) the identification of statistically robust network indicators for trend detection in the supply and connectivity of ES, and (iii) to develop methods that support decisions for the allocation of resources to monitor ES across space (and time) in order to maximize the information obtained from the ES monitoring networks in each landscape.
The PDF will employ methods for ecosystem service network monitoring, which draw upon a powerful suite of tools for identifying the connectivity of the ES network, and for ranking the importance of the nodes and links to the dynamical state of network.
Essential Duties: The primary responsibilities of the successful candidate will be to conduct innovative research and outreach in collaboration with a diverse group of university scientists as well as their industry and government partners. The postdoc will co-lead a series of data collection workshops in different landscapes across Canada.

During the congress we will host a Side Event titled Adapting Europes
forests to global challenges: Lessons from ALTERFOR, on October 1st from
12:00-13:50 at Venue R8 wing 2. ALTERFOR is a large Horizon 2020 project
(see <https://alterfor-project.eu/)> https://alterfor-project.eu/)
exploring the following overarching question: What alternative forest
management models will enable to provide the desired ecosystem services
under changing climate and societal conditions over the coming century? At
the Side Event we will summarize and discuss the results from 10 landscapes
spread all over Europe.
We noticed that you moderate session D8r: Forest Biodiversity in the
framework of global change and the role of Landscape and would like to
invite you to the event. Your session clearly relates to the topics of
ALTERFOR and the presence of you and presenters from your session would be
valuable for an insightful discussion.
Part 1 - Insights from ALTERFOR case studies
- Overview of H2020 project ALTERFOR
- Case Study Examples:
o Italy: People everywhere
o Sweden: Intensifying the intensive
o Lithuania: Breaking the code
- Summing up: Policy implications
Part 2 - Science across scales and disciplines to handle the complexity of
socio-ecological systems
- From stand to landscape to continent: Ecosystem service trade-offs
- Linking scientific truth with power: knowledge transfer in ALTERFOR
- Summarising discussion
