This Issue: */Biodiversity Certification /*and Some Other Good Things

*BIODIVERSITY CERTIFICATION --*In July, John Alexander Pulgarín D asked, 
"Does anyone knows a certification for biodiversity recovery as those 
proposed for CO_2 deposits and FSC? I would like to certify some areas 
for biodiversity recovery, soil recovery, erosion control, CO_2 capture, 
ecological niche maintenance for fauna, and other forest ambient 
services." Here are some sites that may be of interest. If you know of 
others, please contact John at jalexanderpulgarin at gmail.com

*Postdoctoral Associate Position Available in GISc/Remote Sensing*- One 
Postdoctoral Associate Position is open at the Department of 
Environmental Resources Engineering at the State University of New York 
College of Environmental Science and Forestry starting September 2011 or 
later. The candidate will be involved in developing novel spatiotemporal 
remote sensing classifiers working at Landsat to MODIS spatial 
resolutions using advanced machine learning methods (e.g. decision 
trees, neural networks) suited for wide-area mapping (e.g. national 
scale). An additional goal is to produce spatially-explicit accuracy 
metrics to facilitate further usage of the results by non-experts. The 
candidate is expected to lead the preparation of peer-reviewed journal 
papers, project reports, and conference and outreach presentations. To 
apply for the position, please visit: 
http://esf.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetails.jsp?JOBID=26769. It is 
recommended that interested applicants visit
