An invitation and call for papers ...

This meeting is free and open to all persons: Please call this meeting to the attention of your colleagues, students and friends.

The USA National Phenology Network, or USA-NPN, and the southwest region of the American Society for Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing  present a symposium on "Phenology Research and Observations of Southwest Ecosystems," or PROSE.

The keynote speaker is Abraham Miller-Rushing of the USA-NPN, who will speak on "Henry David Thoreau's Contribution to Climate Change Science: How Climate Change is Restructuring Ecological Communities."

Among his many eccentric activities, Thoreau kept meticulous records of flowering and other phenological events. Miller-Rushing will describe how he and his colleagues have used Thoreau's records to provide novel insights into rapid, climate-driven changes in plant and animal populations.
