Scientists from the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network will present a mini-symposium on 'Ecosystem Services in a Changing World' on Thursday March 4, 2010 at the National Science Foundation (NSF) in Arlington, VA.
Now in its 9th year, this annual mini-symposium brings together scientists and educators from several LTER sites and disciplines to NSF to share with agency peers and policy makers the status of ongoing LTER research, important findings, and future plans. For more information, see http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=116382&org=SBE&from=news
The symposium will be webcast live by the LTER Network Office, which is working closely with NSF media experts to make sure the event goes smoothly. In case the live webcast is disrupted or proves impracticable the presentations will also be recorded and posted online shortly thereafter. The webcast will also be listed in the following web event catalog:

Viewers will need the Microsoft Silverlight Player plugin for their browsers to view the webcast (Moonlight player for Linux). Most people already have Silverlight installed in their computers, but an installation link will be presented on the viewing page for those who don't.
