University of Nebraska
The School of Natural Resources (SNR) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is seeking an assistant professor (tenure-track, 9-month appointment) to conduct basic and applied research in aquatic ecology and limnology. We seek individuals whose research integrates theory and basic science with applied issues to address emerging environmental challenges in managed ecosystems. Areas of expertise may include water quality, invasive species, land-use impacts, ecotoxicology, and other topics that improve our understanding of the structure, function and health of surface water ecosystems. The individual will be expected to teach courses in aquatic ecology, limnology and other water quality topics contributing to undergraduate and graduate programs in SNR which includes bachelor’s degrees in Water Sciences, Fisheries and Wildlife, Environmental Restoration Science, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees Natural Resources Sciences.

Adaptation and Biodiversity Law: Archived Talks
19/06/09 21:50
On June 3, 2009 the
Environmental Law Institute hosted an International
Roundtable Discussion on the question posed in the
subject heading: “What does adaptation to climate
change mean for biodiversity law?” This discussion
is part of an ongoing project at ELI to identify
options and make recommendations for countries
seeking to build adaptive capacity into the
governance of their biological resources. Working
with environmental law and policy experts from
around the world, we are currently developing a
Toolkit for regulatory authorities and
stakeholders, and a Report for policymakers (drafts
planned for release Spring 2010).

Urban, Asian Adaptation Network
17/06/09 05:17
AdaptNet is RMIT
University Global Cities Institute's Climate Change
Adaptation Working Group network focused on urban
climate change adaptation. This decentralized
network creates a set of common knowledge and
reference points for participants in the network;
it offers a stock of such knowledge, and either
offers tools or direct users to tools to
undertake urban climate change adaptive policy research and analysis. AdaptNet highlights best practice and demonstration projects. It focuses on cities in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, but nested within the global network of cities.
