<br />March 8-9, 2006. Environmental Credits
<br />Generated Through Land-Use Changes:
<br />Challenges and. Approaches. Baltimore,
<br />Maryland. The workshop will be used
<br />to study and discuss the challenges that
<br />arise when market-based mechanisms
<br />are used to encourage changes in
<br />practices on the land in order to achieve
<br />environmental goals. The primary focus
<br />will be on carbon sequestration and
<br />nutrient run-off reductions. A main goal
<br />of the workshop is to bring together those
<br />facing such issues in both greenhouse
<br />gas/carbon sequestration and water
<br />quality settings to learn from each other
<br />about approaches that might be taken to
<br />overcome these challenges. Additional
<br />information is available at www.envtn.

<br />of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota. This
<br />third forum in the series will examine
<br />the economic and institutional aspects
<br />of terrestrial carbon sequestration and
<br />carbon markets as they are currently
<br />operating and explore the implications for
<br />carbon trading in Minnesota. For more

<br />the Great Lakes. More than 400 talks,
<br />featuring scientific sessions and plenary
<br />speakers, are anticipated. For more

<br />& Aquarium. This is the third in a series
<br />of international conferences on large river

<br />endorsed by the Smithsonian Institution, is
<br />targeted for a multidisciplinary audience
<br />from the sciences, arts, and. humanities,
<br />as well as other groups who manage
<br />and use riverine resources. Headlining
<br />the conference will be Jared Diamond,

<br />June 25-29, 2006. Tenth International
<br />Paleolimnology Symposium. Harbor Side
<br />Convention Center, Duluth, Minnesota.
<br />The meeting theme is "Past Ecosystem
<br />Processes and Human-Environment
<br />Interactions." Because the vast majority of
<br />our global ecosystems have a significant
<br />history of human impact, viable strategies
<br />for their preservation, conservation,
<br />or sustainable management require an
<br />understanding of long-term responses
<br />to climate and human activities. More
<br />information is available at http:!/www.geo.
<br />umn. edu/paleolim 10/.
<br />July 25 & 27, 2006. Conservation
<br />Tillage Field Days. July 25, University

<br />Southern Research and Outreach Center,
<br />Waseca, Minnesota. These events will
<br />consist of field demonstrations of strip-
