Subject: Upcoming Meeting: Ecological Thresholds in Aquatic Ecosystems:
The Role of Climate Change, Anthropogenic Disturbance, and Invasive
Species Progress Review

EPA's National Center for Environmental Research (NCER) is sponsoring a 
meeting to discuss research on ecological thresholds in aquatic
ecosystems. 
Day one of the meeting will review the progress of 11 NCER exploratory
grants 
that are developing methods to predict ecological thresholds based on 
retrospective studies in rivers, lakes, and estuaries. Day two of the
meeting 
will conclude the exploratory discussion and as well as preview 6 new
NCER 
global ecosystem grants that will study the links between climate change
and 
ecological thresholds for linked terrestrial and aquatic systems. Both
sets of 
grants are exploring the effects of threshold exceedances on the
respective 
ecosystems, the services provided by these ecosystems, and methods to
manage 
these resources in the face of potential thresholds. This meeting is
open to 
all who are interested in this new and exciting research area.

Review the on-line agenda and please register by next Friday June 1,
2007 if 
you are interested in attending.

Please pass along the announcement to others who may be interested.
