Global Change and Biosphere Interactions, University of York, 8th – 9th April

The RSC Issues in Environmental Science and Technology (Series Editors: R E Hester, University of York and R M Harrison, University of Birmingham) series tackles important environmental topics in response to the rapid growth of interest in this area and the need for authoritative reviews of such topics.

We’ve hand-picked recently published volumes including Soils and Food Security, Environmental Impacts of Modern Agriculture and Ecosystem Services to feature at the forthcoming Global Change and Biosphere Interactions scientific meeting. 

On 8-9 April 2013 the British Ecological Society (BES) and the York Environmental Sustainability Institute (YESI) will be hosting a major international scientific meeting, Global Change and Biosphere Interactions as part of our centenary and celebrating the launch of YESI. 

Focused on sustainable solutions to global environmental change, the conference will feature major international speakers covering current advances in our understanding of the past, present and future consequences of human impacts on the earth system. Contributions will reach across disciplines, spanning physical, natural, social sciences and humanities to address the causes and consequences of global change and the implications for policy. There will be extensive opportunities for discussing the role of interdisciplinary research in understanding the impacts of global change and identifying new research which will allow us to mitigate and adapt to these impacts.  For details of the programme and speaker please see the BES website

The Monday afternoon’s programme is followed by a public lecture Professor Georgina Mace and wine reception (please indicate attendance at these when registering). 

Early bird registration is now open until Friday 8 March at £75 for BES and YESI members and £95 for non-members, which includes all sessions, lunch and refreshments over the two days.  Accommodation and dinner can be booked on top of this.  We are now also offering a day rate of £50.
