Is nature predictable? If so, how can we better manage and conserve ecosystems? Near-term ecological forecasting is an emerging interdisciplinary research area that aims to improve researchers' ability to predict ecological processes on timescales that can be validated and updated. The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Biological Sciences invites media and members of the public to a distinguished lecture series with Michael Dietze of Boston University. An ecologist who leads the university's Ecological Forecasting Laboratory, Dietz will discuss the challenges and opportunities in near-term ecological forecasting, which span advances in environmental monitoring, statistics and cyberinfrastructure. He will present a framework to understand the predictability of ecological processes and highlight ongoing efforts to build an ecological forecasting community of practice. Dietze will address the current state of and potential for developing forecasts for a wide range of ecological processes, including:
EVENT DETAILS: WHO: NSF-funded ecologist Michael Dietze, who leads Boston University's Ecological Forecasting Laboratory. The laboratory works to better understand and predict ecological systems. Dietze is interested in ways that iterative forecasts can improve and accelerate basic environmental science while making that science more directly relevant to society. Dietze's plant ecology lab led the development of PEcAn, the Predictive Ecosystems Analyzer, an open-source software platform for analyzing diverse data and ecosystem models, funded by grants from NSF, NASA and others. WHAT: NSF distinguished lecture: "Solving the challenge of predicting nature: How close are we and how do we get there?" WHEN: Thursday, Sept. 27, 12:30 p.m. ET WHERE: National Science Foundation, 2415 Eisenhower Ave., Alexandria, VA 22314 RSVP: Media who plan to attend the lecture must contact Ivy Kupec at ikupec@nsf.gov or (703) 292-8796. Dietze will be available for media interviews directly after the lecture. -NSF- |
