ESE-faculty-list SPECIAL INVITE with FOOD (Response Requested) for Tuesday April 26 3:30 in 2425 Lilly Hall

[Lee, Linda S]

(NOTE FIRST that although you were asked to save the April 29th date for a gathering, it ends up not being a good time after all. We will reschedule something for the summer when those who want to canoe to the site may do so.)
SPECIAL INVITE

On Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 3:30-6:30PM in 2-425 Lilly Hall, the 2010-2011 incoming ESE Cohort is presenting their semester projects on planetary boundaries. There will be six presentation with each focused on the limits/thresholds set by Rockstrom et al. (4 page paper attached: "A safe operating space for humanity - Identifying and quantifying planetary boundaries that must not be transgressed could help prevent human activities from causing unacceptable environmental change....") for a specific focus area.  Focus areas that will be highlighted are:

 *   Biodiversity loss
 *   Biogeochemical flow boundaries
 *   Change in land use
 *   Climate change
 *   Global freshwater use
 *   Integration and implementation
Please join us in Lily 2-425, from 3:30-6:30pm, as they present their findings and open the floor for what will likely be a lively discussion. (Come as you can even if you cannot be present for the entire block of time)

Food will be provided, so please RSVP through the doodle link below so we will know how much food and drink to have on hand (students in 2010-2011 cohort do not need to reply to the doodle):
