The 12th North American Forest Soils Conference is being held in Whitefish, MT at the Grouse Mountain Lodge. It will examine the role of forest soils in providing ecosystem services and is an opportunity for researchers, government officials, and forestry industry personnel to interact and learn about forest soils research and discuss where it will take us in the future. Conference sessions will feature keynote addresses; oral and poster presentations relevant to theme areas; area forest tours of National Forest and Forest Industry lands; a dinner banquet; and close with a two-day, post-conference field trip to observe impacted area soils, landforms, tribal nursery operations, and regional research projects.

Toulouse and the Midi-Pyrénées region are steeped in both history and today’s world. In this region, tradition and modernity meet, from the Cathars and the way of St. James to technical innovations and the space and aeronautic epic of the 21st century. Art and technology, beauty and efficiency mix harmoniously in Toulouse, and meeting here for a congress is a true pleasure for the participants.

Land and Marine practitioners, professionals, academics and students, covering from communal title issues such as Scottish Crofting tenure, to the most up to date and challenging issues of multiple ownership sites and new extraction issues such as shale fracking. The marine theme should be of keen interest to all marine practitioners, academics and students, including hydrographic and marine environment specialists. Property specialists will find sessions addressing the impact of environmental legislation on the property sector of particular interest.

The objective of INTERDROUGHT is to serve as a platform for presenting and debating key issues and strategies relevant for increasing the yield and stability of crops under drought conditions by genetic and crop management approaches. Great advances have been made in recent years in understanding the molecular basis of plant responses and plant tolerance to drought stress. Hundreds of drought responsive genes have been identified and the function of some of these has been resolved at the cellular level. However, there is a huge gap between the molecular level science and the interpretation and application of this knowledge at the whole plant level in the field. There is an increasing demand in both public and private research sectors for crosstalk between disciplines involved with the molecular science and those involved with whole plant problems aimed at solving issues at the farm and field level in order to advance practical solutions to drought prone farming. INTERDROUGHT-IV offers a unique and timely platform for this purpose.

In 2013, the University of Potsdam will host the 43rd Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
The meeting (www.gfoe-2013.de) will take place from September 9 to 13, 2013 in Potsdam, Germany. 
The guiding theme of the 43rd Annual Meeting is "Building bridges in ecology - linking systems, scales and disciplines".
The meeting aims at strengthening the scientific basis for sustainable development and biodiversity conservation based on a mechanistic, scale-crossing understanding of past and current patterns, processes and functions of biodiversity and reliable predictions of future dynamics. Following the bridging theme of our meeting, the conference will be in parallel to the annual meeting of the German Society for Limnology (DGL) with a selected number of joint keynotes and sessions.

The objective of the Living Planet Symposium is to present the results of ESA EO missions in exploitation by:
providing a forum for investigators to report and discuss results of on-going science activities using ERS, ENVISAT, GOCE, SMOS, CRYOSAT, Swarm and ESA Third Party missions data;
gathering the Sentinels R&D community;
reviewing the development of applications;
introducing operational services including GMES;
reporting on ESA Exploitation Programmes (DUE, VAE, STSE);
reporting on ESA Climate Change Initiative and international cooperation;
providing dedicated thematic tutorials and short training courses (ESA toolboxes). 
In addition, the Symposium will provide an opportunity to introduce ESA missions in development (Sentinels, Earth Explorers and meteorological missions) and national EO missions.

IALE - UK and IALE Europe invite you to Manchester for the IALE 2013 European Congress. This major international event will examine how and why European landscapes are changing and how landscape ecology can help us to plan for the future at local to global scales. It will consider local projects alongside international programmes and provide many opportunities for researchers, policy makers and practitioners to interact. The congress will have a European focus but we look forward to welcoming participants from around the world.

The First International Conference on Global Food Security aims to deliver state-of-the-art analysis, inspiring visions and innovative research methods arising from interdisciplinary research. Join us in this exciting opportunity to ensure that the best science is garnered to support the emergence of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Achieving global food security whilst reconciling demands on the environment is the greatest challenge faced by mankind. By 2050 we will need to feed 9 billion people. The urgency of the issue has led to huge scientific strides forwards; making it difficult to keep up with the rapidly expanding volume of scientific research. 
We aim to better understand economic, social, biophysical, technological and institutional drivers of current and future global food security. The conference will address food production and access, and the trade-offs between competing environmental, economic or social objectives and outcomes.

The 2014 Global Land Project Open Science Meeting will synthesize and discuss the role of the land system as a platform for human-environment interactions, connecting local land use decisions to global impacts and responses.
Main conference themes: 
Rethinking land change transitions: drastic changes in land cover and subtle changes in land management
Local land users in a tele-connected world: the role of human decision making on land use as both a driver and response to global environmental change
Impacts and responses: land systems changes to mitigate global environmental change impacts and adapt to increasing demands for food, fuel and ecosystem services
Land governance: the ways in which alternative approaches to governance of land resources can enhance the sustainability transition
