SUMMARY:2018 Copper River Delta Science Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Update April 13\, 2018: Presentation files are available for viewing and download. \nAlaska’s Copper River delta is the largest contiguous wetland on the Pacific Coast of North America and an important region for both fish and wildlife. The delta provides vital salmon habitat\, serves as a key shorebird stopover and breeding site\, and is the primary nesting area for Dusky Canada Geese. \nTo better integrate current knowledge and plan future research efforts\, Copper River Delta Science Symposium presentations will focus on the delta as a system\, covering topics from hydrology and geomorphology to avian nesting ecology and trophic relationships. This conference will provide an opportunity for interdisciplinary examination of the delta and to identify future research needs to better manage and conserve this ecologically significant area in the face of climate change and other environmental transformations. \nBackground\nThe Copper River delta has a long and rich research history based on its many ecological\, biological and physical systems. Thirteen delta research conferences have been held\, beginning in the early 1970s. The US Forest Service’s Cordova Ranger District and Pacific Northwest Research Station\, Ecotrust and Alaska Sea Grant supported the most recent conference in 2011. Since that year many research projects have come to fruition\, new initiatives have been put in place and many issues have come to the fore including climate change impacts. \nAgenda and Abstracts\nThe Agenda is available for download (2-page PDF). Or download the full Agenda and Abstracts (44-page PDF). Please note the welcome reception the evening of March 27\, and a public poster session the evening of March 28\, both at the Cordova Center. \nDr. Gordon Reeves\, USFS\, Corvallis\, OR \nKeynote Speaker\nThe keynote speaker is Dr. Gordon Reeves\, USFS\, Corvallis\, Oregon. Gordie Reeves first set foot on the Copper River delta as a fisheries biologist in 1987. His expertise is in freshwater ecology of anadromous salmon and trout\, conservation biology of those fish\, the impacts of climate change on aquatic ecosystems and associated biota\, and aquatic aspects of landscape ecology. \nRegistration\nRegistration deadline is March 16—our caterers need firm numbers to accommodate timely food ordering. Symposium registration is $75 US and covers daily continental breakfast\, lunch\, receptions and break refreshments. \nInstructions for Presenters\nGuidelines for both oral and poster presentations are downloadable. \nLocation and Facilities\nThe symposium will be held at the new Cordova Center co-located with Cordova’s library\, city offices and museum. Cordova is nearly in sync digitally with the outside world—most hotels have wireless\, and major cell phone carriers including GCI\, ACS\, Verizon and AT&T are worth a try. \nCordova housing options include the Reluctant Fisherman Inn\, Prince William Motel\, Lighthouse Inn\, and many B&Bs. We have an airport shuttle (the airport is 13 miles one-way)\, and a car rental. USFS will provide some airport shuttles. \nVisitor Information\nFor information on hotels\, B&Bs\, restaurants\, museums\, sightseeing opportunities and attractions\, and car rental please visit the Cordova Chamber website. \nSteering Committee\nTorie Baker (co-chair) Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program\, University of Alaska Fairbanks\nErin Cooper (co-chair) Cordova Ranger District\, USFS\nStormy Haught Alaska Department of Fish and Game\nRob Campbell Prince William Sound Science Center\nJohn Whissel Native Village of Eyack\nChantel Adelfio Copper River Watershed Project\nMelissa Gabrielson Cordova Ranger District\, USFS \nSponsors\nAlaska Sea Grant College Program\nCordova District\, US Forest Service\nPacific Northwest Research Station\, US Forest Service\nPrince William Sound Science Center\nCopper River Watershed Project\nOil Spill Recovery Institute \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n\n	Related
