EPA invites you to join EPA’s National Dialogue on Access to Environmental Information. Today, June 9, begins a week of on-line dialogue with our environmental information partners to hear your ideas about how we can enhance information access.
Brian Greene, a professor of physics at Columbia, writes in the Sunday New York Times (June 1, 2008), “. . . Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective…..To be able to think through and grasp explanations — for everything from why the sky is blue to how life formed on earth — not because they are declared…
On behalf of the NOAA Science Advisory Board (SAB), we would like you to know that the SAB is currently soliciting nominations for its Ecosystem Sciences and Management Working Group.
On Saturday, March 8, ESA heaquarters, both our downtown DC office and our Silver Spring, MD Frontiers/Education offices, will move into gleaming new space at 1990 M Street NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20036. The telephone number for all ESA offices will be the same as the current DC number, 202-833-8773; emails are not affected by the move. We look…
The National Science Foundation’s Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) is searching for three permanent program directors; one in each of three clusters: Ecosystem Science Cluster, Population and Evolutionary Processes Cluster, and Systematic Biology and Biodiversity Inventories Cluster.
It has been quite awhile since we have communicated with you. This is largely due to two factors. First, much of the recent work of NEON has involved getting our business systems in place, hiring new staff, writing NSF proposals to keep the funding stream flowing, and getting the new Boulder office up and running.
Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to Alaska with the SEEDS program! The spring SEEDS field trip will be to the Bonanza Creek LTER from May 25-31 with the theme of “ecology on the edge: polar ecosystems and their response to climate changeâ€. SEEDS serves undergraduate students who are underrepresented in the ecology profession. Applications is…
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, a peer-reviewed, scientific journal of the Ecological Society of America, is collecting information on attitudes toward publication in general and Frontiers in particular, and we would greatly value your input.

ESA ecologists have released a new map of the biosphere based on global patterns of ecosystem form and process created by humans- a 21st century challenge to the now classic biome maps that appear in nearly every ecology textbook.
Another area of growth for ESA is through our support as members of our Annual Fund for the Millennium.
The Ecological Society of America (ESA), largely due to the success of the SEEDS program, just won the 2006 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Engineering and Mathematics Mentoring (PAESMEM).
