It’s been three years since the last Biennial Conference of Science & Management, but this year the meeting was back and better than ever! Hosted at NAU, the conference focuses work related to the ecosystems of the Colorado Plateau and Southwestern United States. The meeting is attended by resource managers and research scientists whose work specifically focuses on the Southwest’s natural and cultural resources. Darby, Jacob and Mostafa led a workshop on “Using open-source PhenoCam imagery and data to monitor vegetation change in drylands and beyond”, and then Jacob and Mostafa chaired an organized session, “Understanding the Ecological Impacts of Climate Change on Colorado Plateau Drylands Using Field-Based Approaches”. Thanks everyone for your participation in this fantastic event, and especially to our collaborators and friends who made the effort to travel here from Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Tucson.
The photo below shows the speakers and audience from the organized session led by Jacob and Mostafa. The session was hugely popular — standing room only!
Congratulations on a highly successful event!
