Dear Hubbard Brook COS members:

Please find attached the draft agenda for the upcoming April 19, 2017 COS meeting. The overall theme of the meeting is "Resilience: Theory and Measurement at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest." There will be a brief overview of ideas regarding ecological resilience and how it might inform our understanding of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem. However the main goal is to foster discussion among the community of scientists.

Toward that end we have planned break-out groups to explore the dimensions and meanings of resilience. We have also listed questions specific to Hubbard Brook research that are related to the idea of resilience. If you have questions or topics of interest, please send them along and we will include them in an updated agenda.
