Wisconsin Wetlands Association 17th Annual Conference, Urban Wetlands
Dates: February 22 – 23, 2012
Location: Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Wetlands Association will convene members of the regional wetland community in Lake Geneva, WI to discuss the latest in wetland science, management, restoration, and protection issues around the conference theme, Urban Wetlands. This 2-day conference, from February 22 – 23, 2012, will include topical oral sessions; a poster session; working groups; a banquet with speaker; and wetland field trips to Lake Geneva-area wetlands. Following more than a decade-long tradition, we anticipate that this year’s conference will contribute to a growing regional collaboration for protecting and conserving Wisconsin’s wetlands.

9th INTECOL International Wetland Conference
Dates: 3-8 June 2012
Location: Orlando, Florida
TOPICS:
We invite you to participate in the upcoming 9th International
Wetland Conference to be held in Orlando, Florida, 3-8 June,
2011 (see Website: www.conference.ifas.ufl.edu/intecol).
INTECOL 9 provides a forum for wetlands scientists from
around the world to discuss threats, challenges and integrated
solutions for sustainable restoration and management of
wetlands in our changing world. The meeting will be in
conjunction with the Society of Wetland Scientists and the
Greater Everglades Ecosystem Restoration Conference.
All individuals working in ecological, physical, biogeochemical
and social sciences pertinent to wetland management and
policy are invited to submit abstracts describing their efforts,
science, projects and results. There will be opportunities for
participants to present both short talks and posters, which will
be conducted interactively with plenty of time reserved for
questions and discussions. Over 70 conference symposium
proposals have been submitted In addition there will be
interactive workshops. We hope to see you at what will be an
exciting and informative meeting. We welcome colleagues to
this premier event – the largest wetlands conference in the
world.

Remote sensing of colour, temperature and salinity new challenges and opportunities - 44th Liège Colloquium on Ocean Dynamics
Dates: 7-11 May 2012
Location: Ulg, Liège, Belgium
Remote sensing has become an essential tool in oceanography. The development of new sensors and algorithms has extended the application of ocean remote sensing to new research domains, and new data analysis techniques are allowing to improve the quality of the data sets used for oceanographic and climatic research. Variables like sea surface temperature or those derived from the ocean colour have already shown their relevance to climate change studies. The use of satellite-derived salinity, as a fairly new data set, is an exciting opportunity to improve our knowledge of the ocean dynamics and ocean-atmosphere interactions. http://modb.oce.ulg.ac.be/colloquium/
IAGLR 2012 - From Great Lakes Flow Mighty Rivers
Dates: May 13-17, 2012
Location: Cornwall, Ontario Canada
IAGLR 2012 will feature plenary speakers and
focused sessions that highlight studies of the
basic ecology, chemistry, and physics of the
Great Lakes.
Other sessions will report environmental issues
related to water levels, water quality, invasive
species, and climate change, and the unique
characteristics, importance, and problems of
connecting channels and rivers, components of
the Great Lakes system that are understudied and
not well understood.
