Those interested in landscape modelling might want to be aware of the deadlines for LANDMOD 2010 and US-IALE 2010.

LANDMOD 2010
LANDMOD 2010 will be held at SupAgro in Montpellier, France, February 3rd to 5th 2010.

The 2010 international conference on integrative landscape modelling will gather leading scientists in each of the main disciplines dealing with ecosystems and landscape simulation and management, complex dynamic modelling and assessment of vulnerability, resilience and adaptation of agro- and eco-systems under human influence.

The main objectives of the conference are:

• To discuss the objectives, priorities and expectations when modelling the functioning of landscapes;
• To share experience about landscape modelling and to identify major existing conceptual and technological gaps;
• To release a ‘state of the art’ about landscape modelling and simulation;
• To start building an international network on integrative ecosystems and landscape modelling.

Deadlines
October 31st : deadline for submission of extended abstracts
November, 30th: notification of acceptation of talks and posters
December, 31st : deadline for registration and payment

US-IALE 2010
The 25th annual meeting of US-IALE (US Regional Association, International Association for Landscape Ecology) will be held in Athens, Georgia, from April 5-9, 2010. One of the unique aspects of the 25th annual meeting is to reflect upon progress made in the past 25 years and to chart an even more productive course for landscape ecology over the next quarter century. The meeting will include special sessions at which past presidents of US-IALE and other leading landscape ecologists will provide retrospectives on and perspectives for landscape ecology.

Approximately 20 NASA-MSU Awards and 10 CHANS Fellowships will be available to support students, postdoctoral associates, junior faculty and other junior researchers to attend the meeting.

Deadlines
October 15, 2009: Proposals for symposia and workshops
December 15, 2009: Abstracts for oral and poster presentations
December 15, 2009: NASA-MSU Awards Applications
December 15, 2009: CHANS Fellowship Applications
