In 1991 a Gordon Conference was established to promote discussion and interaction between hydrologists, geochemists and biologists working in forest ecosystems. The next conference is scheduled for August 2-6, 1993 at the Holderness School in New Hampshire. LTER principal investigator Charles Driscoll (Hubbard Brook LTER) is conference chair. The program will include four separate sessions:
- Monday, August 2, Upland Ecosystems
- Tuesday, August 3, Stream & Near-Stream Ecosystems
- Thursday, August 5, Wetland Ecosystems
- Friday, August 6, Lake Ecosystems
In addition, a keynote speaker and several session speakers will be scheduled daily, and a series of poster sessions will be presented throughout the meeting. John Aber (Harvard Forest LTER) has agreed to host a field trip to the Harvard Forest on August 4. LTER participation, and the participation of students, women and minorities, is particularly encouraged.
