Good morning all,

    On April 9th, Kathie Weathers will be visiting Miami and giving our department seminar.  Kathie is a scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in New York and recently accepted an appointment as a program officer at the National Science Foundation and she is also a member of the steering committee of GLEON (the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network).  The title of her talk is "Clouds, fog and the maintenance of ecosystems: mist connections?"

     Dr. Weathers has been involved in air pollution research since the mid-1980s. She has published widely, including significant papers on modeling the effects of landscape features on patterns of atmospheric deposition, tracking the response of terrestrial ecosystems to nitrogen pollution, and illuminating the ecological importance of fog. Much of her research is focused on understanding atmospheric influences and controls on ecosystem processes and biogeochemical cycles in heterogeneous landscapes.

      If you are interested in meeting with Kathie, please let me know by this Friday, March March 27th what time slot(s) work best for you.  Please see the attached schedule for available slots.

Thank you,
Kevin Rose
