>         Landscape ecology focuses on spatial heterogeneity:
> how to characterize pattern, how pattern originates, and its
> implications for populations, communities, and ecosystem processes.
> Increasingly, landscape ecologists are concerned with how landscapes
> change through time and the forces that govern these dynamics.
> Clearly, an understanding of the agents and trajectories of landscape
> change is crucial to our ability to anticipate future landscape
> conditions and the implications of these for resource management and
> land use planning.
>         The symposium will be hosted by the Nicholas School of the
> Environment at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.  The meeting
> will be held Sunday through Wednesday, March 16-19, 1997, at the
> Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club on the edge of Duke's West Campus,
> adjoining Duke Forest.  The meeting will consist of plenary sessions
> with invited guests, thematic sessions of contributed papers, and
> poster sessions.  Special workshops will focus on techniques for
> teaching landscape ecology and for sharing research and teaching tools
> such as custom software.
>         Meeting guests may participate in all-day field trips on Sunday
> as well as shorter field trips on Tuesday afternoon.  Field trips will
> visit a variety of ecosystems and research sites in the Durham area,
> the Piedmont, and the Coastal Plain.
