  9th
International Symposium on
Biogeochemistry of Wetlands
March
20-23, 2005
Cook Conference Center &
Hotel at LSU
Baton Rouge, LA, USA
Sponsors:
|
 The objective of
this international symposium is to provide a framework for scientists
to share technical information on various topics related to
biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and other contaminants, as related
soil, water, and air quality in freshwater and estuarine wetlands.
Wetland soils serve as sinks, sources,
and transformers of nutrients and other chemical contaminants, and as
such they can have a significant impact on water quality and ecosystem
productivity. The primary driver of these processes is the ecosystem
biogeochemistry, which includes chemical, biological and physical
processes in the soil and water column. Often, these processes are
lumped and the ecosystem is treated as a "black box" and a simplified
input-output analysis is used to address water quality issues. This
traditional empirical approach is inadequate for effective evaluation
of an ecosystem's performance. Biogeochemistry is an interdisciplinary
science, which includes the study of interactive biological,
geological and chemical processes regulating the fate and transport of
nutrients and contaminants in soil, water and atmospheric components
of an ecosystem. Biogeochemistry also provides a framework to
integrate physical, chemical and biological processes functioning in
an ecosystem at various spatial and temporal scales.

 Oral
sessions will be held in the Cook Conference Center from Monday
morning to Wednesday at noon. There is a plenary session in the
Laborde Hall each morning, followed by concurrent sessions during the
day. Poster sessions will be held from 5-7 pm on Monday and Tuesday,
but in two different locations. On Monday evening starting at 5 pm,
WBI will host the poster session and reception in the Energy, Coast
and Environment Building as part of a dedication of a memorial to Dr.
William H. Patrick, Jr. Directions and specific information on this
poster session is described below. On Tuesday evening starting at 5
pm, the poster session will be held in the Abell Hall of the Cook
Conference Center, followed by the banquet in Laborde Hall.
Plenary
Session:
The 9th
International Symposium on Biogeochemistry of Wetlands
will begin with a plenary session each morning, from Monday to
Wednesday. On Monday, 21 March, the symposium will begin in a plenary
session at 8:00 a.m. in Laborde Hall of the Cook Conference Center.
The Plenary will include a short welcome from the Symposium co-chairs,
a welcome from Dr. William Jenkins, President of the LSU System,
followed by a series of presentations in honor of the late Dr. William
Patrick. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the plenary sessions will begin at
8:30 am in the Laborde Hall of the Cook Conference Center. See the
program for description of the plenary presentations.
 Oral
Presentations: Oral Sessions of
the 9th
International Symposium on Biogeochemistry of Wetlands
include blocks of five 20-minute presentations in different
arrangements of concurrent sessions. See the program agenda below for
the schedule of oral presentations. During most of the symposium,
there are two concurrent sessions held in Laborde and Abell Halls of
the Cook Conference Center. During one section of the program there
is a third concurrent session in the Cook Conference Room. This time
schedule of the symposium will be strictly adhered to by the session
chairs and is designed for a fifteen-minute presentation leaving ample
time for follow-up
questions and discussions and speaker change--over.
Monday Poster
Session: The Monday poster
session will be held at the School of the Coast and Environment
(Energy, Coast and Environment Building) in the Rotunda Conference
Room & Auditorium from 5 to 7 pm. A tour of the Wetland
Biogeochemistry Institute’s facilities, located in the School of the
Coast and Environment building, will be given during the Monday
Reception.
Tuesday
Poster Session: Tuesday
poster session will be held in the ABELL Conference Room of the Cook
Conference Center from 5 to 7 pm. Following the poster session will
be the Symposium Banquet in the Laborde Hall of the Cook Conference
Center.
