PL 2

ESA Scientific Plenary and Awards Session

Wearing an ecologist’s hat and facing a world of change In this talk, Kathy Cottingham will explore the premise that ecological tools and approaches can be put to use well beyond the domain traditionally considered part of the discipline. Building on her recent work in freshwater and ecosystem ecology, Cottingham will demonstrate how an ecological approach can also be used to tackle questions in public environmental health, and suggest several areas in which ecologists might be able to make substantive contributions during the next decade. The Sacramento Memorial Auditorium is across the street from the Sacramento Convention Center.
