CNPS 2009 Conservation Conference: Strategies and Solutions
Description:
You are encouraged to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation
for the 2009 CNPS (California Native Plant Society) Conservation Conference, January 17 - 19, 2009 in
Sacramento, California.
Abstract submission instructions and session information can be found on the
conference website, http://www.cnps.org/cnps/conservation/conference/2009/
June 30, 2008 is the deadline to submit an abstract for an oral or poster

Title of News:
Conference to explore new ideas for Delta
Summary:
The rapid urbanization of flood-prone lands in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta -- the water supply for nearly 23 million Californians and habitat for more than 30 fish species -- will be the focus of an upcoming conference at the University of California, Berkeley.

Submitted by cmjones on March 6, 2007 - 10:55am.Name:
Vincent Resh
Research Interests:
The research program in Vincent Resh's laboratory follows three lines: (1) studies of the evolutionary biology and ecology of aquatic insects, crustaceans, and molluscs in stream and river habitats; (2) the evaluation of habitat manipulations for use in environmental restoration or enhancement, and the use of them in examining underlying influences of ecological interactions; and (3) and the development of techniques for the biological assessment of water quality.

Bartolome, James
Submitted by cmjones on March 2, 2007 - 1:24pm.Name:
James Bartolome
Research Interests:
Rangeland ecosystems form extensive wildland landscapes visually dominated by grassland, shrubland, and savanna vegetation. Two important natural processes that control the structure and function of these ecosystems are herbivory and fire. Successful restoration, conservation, and use of rangelands usually requires the use of fire and herbivory and an understanding of vegetation response.

Duane, Tim
Submitted by cmjones on March 16, 2007 - 1:12pm.Name:
Tim Duane
Research Interests:
Land use and natural resources law, landscape-scale conservation strategies and the relationship between public land and resource management efforts and private land conservation in western North America, growth management and rural land use planning, methods for incorporating environmental factors into infrastructure systems planning, and improving the economic efficiency of environmental law and regulation.
Achievements:
Duane teaches environmental planning and policy, infrastructure planning, environmental impacts of energy systems, land use planning, environmentally sustainable community development, and the impacts of urban development on fragile natural systems. He is particularly interested in how institutional structures can be modified to address competing social values. He is therefore studying law and legal institutions in greater detail, since they dominate decision-making in the modern administrative state. His primary institutional focus is domestic, but has also worked in or traveled in over thirty countries and has supervised graduate students in over a dozen other countries. He has published on a wide variety of topics from electricity regulation in California to community participation in ecosystems management.

Coal Oil Point Reserve
Submitted by cmjones on February 27, 2007 - 11:27am.Name of Research Center:
Coal Oil Point Reserve
Description:
One of the best remaining examples of a coastal-strand environment in Southern California, the Coal Oil Point Natural Reserve protects a wide variety of coastal and estuarine habitats. Research at Coal Oil includes: USGS earthquake monitoring: COPR has one of 200 antennae used by USGS geologists to study earth movement, Surfgrass restoration in intertidal zone: Ongoing project includes studies of surfgrass epiphytes and reproduction, and Human impacts on threatened snowy plover: USGS study seeks to understand impacts on the snowy plover and provide conservation guidelines
