IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SUBMITTING AN ABSTRACT FOR NCER 2013:
While the abstract submission deadline has passed, to afford as many people as possible an opportunity to participate, the online abstract submission form will remain active. After the program agenda is confirmed, all further submissions will only be accepted as poster presentations.
Posters are divided into two sessions, and a Poster Session & Networking Reception is held for each grouping. All early morning, mid-day and afternoon breaks are also held in the poster hall, providing an abundance of time for attendees to view posters and have one-on-one interaction with the presenter. Giving a poster is a great opportunity to network, share lessons learned and make new and valuable connections with your colleagues. |
Call for Abstracts
Submission Deadline: Due to an overwhelming number of requests, the abstract submission deadline has been extended to Monday, January 7. That will be the absolute final date an abstract may be submitted for consideration as an oral presentation.
Join us at NCER '13 for four days of presentations in multiple program tracks, workshops, plenary sessions, poster sessions, field trips and coffee-house discussions dedicated to current topics in ecosystem restoration. We’ll explore the roles of policy, planning, science and management in establishing goals and performance expectations for achieving successful and sustainable ecosystem restoration.
All individuals working in ecosystem restoration are invited to submit abstracts describing their efforts, science, projects and results. Oral and poster presentations will be selected from abstract submissions, and abstracts from all presentations will be published online in the conference book of abstracts. Poster presentations will be divided into two sessions and formal poster sessions will be held for each grouping to allow maximum time for discussion with individual authors.
You will be asked to identify which Program Theme and Sub-topic are most applicable to your work outlined in your abstract submission when filling out the online form, so please take a moment to review the Session Themes and Topics page.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: If you wish to make an oral or poster presentation, please submit an abstract no later than January
7, 2013. Abstracts MUST be submitted ONLINE via this web site.
