GLP Events
For completed GLP events please see: Completed eventsInternational workshop on Integration and Modelling, March 19–20 2010, Aberdeen, UK
'Representation of Ecosystem Services in the modelling of Land Systems'
Workshop organised by the Aberdeen Global Land Project Nodal Office.
This workshop will explore measurement and representation of ecosystem services in land systems and models for application in policy and practice. The workshop will provide an opportunity for leading international researchers in land system science, spatial and process modelling of coupled natural and human systems, and ecosystem services to produce a new research agenda on modelling ecosystem services.

'Cascading interactions among ecosystems'
Summer school co-organised by Hideaki Shibata (GLP SSC). This summer school provides unique opportunities for Ph D international and Japanese students to learn field research methods. Students will also discuss current research findings and explore future directions for various research topics on ecology encompassing a wide array of disciplines, including population, community, ecosystem and landscape/seascape ecology.

Special session on agent-based modeling is co-sponsored by the Aberdeen Global Land Project Nodal Office on Integration and Modelling.
This session invites papers demonstrating application of agent-based modeling to land use problems at different scales, socio-ecological problems, and modeling heterogeneous human behavior and its impacts on environment and ecosystem services.
Important dates:
November 27, 2009: abstracts submission deadline
December 31, 2009: acceptance of abstracts
March 19, 2010: submission of full papers for review
Organisers: Dawn C. Parker (GLP-SSC. University of Waterloo, Canada) and Tatiana Filatova (University of Twente, the Netherlands).

International conference co-organised by the GLP Beijing Nodal Office. Date and venue to be determined.GLP Open Science Meeting, October 17-19 2010, Arizona, USA
'Land Systems, Global Change and Sustainablility'
GLP is announcing its first Open Science Meeting (GLP OSM), to be held from 17-19 October 2010 at Arizona State University, Tempe, USA. This Conference is organized in close cooperation with IHDP’s Urbanization and Global Environmental Change (UGEC) project (UGEC will hold its 1st International Science and Practice Conference from the 15-17 October 2010, with the 17 October organized jointly with GLP on the topic of 'Sustainable land systems in the era of urbanization and climate change').
The aim of the Open Science Meeting 'Land Systems, global change and sustainability' is to bring together large parts of the international research community working on land change issues, showcase the width and scope of ongoing research, help build a community in this highly interdisciplinary field, inspire new research and facilitate review, theory building and extrapolation. In a broad sence the intellectual aim of the conference can be summarized as: "To advance the science of land systems and their change for analysis and response to global change and sustainability".
A major theme running throughout both the UGEC and GLP conferences, and the focus of the overlapping day are the linkages among urbanization, land and landscapes, and climate change: The themes embedded in these linkages, constitute one of the next phases of emphasis in global change and climate change science as registered by the USCCP, IPCC, and other major agenda-setting reports forthcoming in the US and internationally. Arizona State University, as one of the leading Universities in Sustainability Science, Global Environmental Change research, Land Change research and host to the International Project Office of IHDP’s Urbanization Project promises to be a perfect Venue for such a Conference.

'Towards a New Knowledge for Scale Sensitive Governance of Complex Systems'
Wageningen University and Research (UR) invites participants of the conference to discuss integrative concepts, methodologies, and case studies related to scaling and governance issues in complex systems. Anticipated outcomes of the conference include an international research agenda and recommendations for scale-sensitive governance approaches. The conference is co-organised by Tom Veldkamp (GLP SSC).
