The theme of the May 17-19 meeting is "Understanding Urbanizing Landscapes: Atmospheric, Terrestrial and Aquatic Linkages," which should help focus regional attention on emerging issues in rapidly urbanizing regions. A symposium on Urban Aquatic Ecosystems will include timely presentations on topic such as urban water use, hydrology, techniques to assess landscape – aquatic linkages, and emerging water quality issues. Come participate and hear leading experts in the field present recent findings and discuss the latest developments in this rapidly growing area. A special presentation will be provided by Dr. Sharon Megdal, Director of the Water Resource Research Center, University of Arizona.
