Earth System Science (ESS) Veggie Group
The newly organized Veggie Group,
formed primarily from members of the Randerson-Goulden-Pataki Lab triumvirate (and
anyone else who is interested!), meets every Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. (note the new time!) during
academic quarters in 1103 Croul Hall (the Fishbowl) to discuss research
related to plant physiology, ecosystem ecology, vegetation remote sensing,
and biogeochemical cycles. To receive e-mail updates about meetings
and activities, subscribe to the Veggie-Group mailing list here.
During the Fall 2010 quarter, a member of the Veggie Group will lead
the discussion of a recent journal paper at each meeting. The schedule
of discussion leaders and papers is listed below. Papers for future
meetings will be announced to the Veggie-Group mailing list the
week prior to their discussion.
