/*This meeting will be held on Monday and Tuesday, June 25 and 26, 2012
in Nairobi, Kenya. The purpose of the meeting is to share the latest in
research and applications for a global perspective on solutions for the
tropical timber species of the Meliaceae (subfamily Swietenoideae). This
meeting will be held in conjunction with the IUFRO-FORNESSA Regional
Congress in Africa (IUFRO = International Union of Forest Research
Organizations; FORNESSA = Forestry Research Network of Sub-Saharan
Africa). For more information, see "Upcoming IUFRO Meetings" at:

*UPR-RP IGERT Program: Natural-Human Systems in the Urbanizing Tropics*-
The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT)
program at the University of Puerto-Río Piedras (UPR-RP) aims to train
Ph.D. students in interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to
environmental problems in urbanizing, tropical landscapes. The program
is based in the natural sciences, but students receive interdisciplinary
training in social science perspectives on environmental issues and
apply these to real-world problems. The common element for dissertation
research is how human and natural systems interact. Research may cover
climate, water, food security, renewable energy, waste management,
biodiversity, or urban system services, among other topics. Research
topics are developed in collaboration with a government agency,
non-profit organization, or community group. Projects can be based in
Puerto Rico or elsewhere in the tropics. Puerto Rico has had a dynamic
environmental history, with nearly complete deforestation followed by
forest recovery, and then urban sprawl as the economy modernized. The
environmental problems caused by these shifts, overlaid by changes in
climate and vulnerability to catastrophic storms, make Puerto Rico an
ideal place to conduct integrative research. This program is funded by
the National Science Foundation. This IGERT is based in the UPR-RP
Environmental Science Graduate Program, but students in other UPR-RP
graduate programs may apply. The deadline for application to UPR-RP
graduate programs is January 20, 2012. The deadline for application for
these IGERT fellowships is February 27, 2012. Applicants must contact
the IGERT program and a prospective advisor before applying. See the
website and email addresses below. Benefits: $30,000/year for two years;
$2,000 for travel and education materials; office, computer and software
usage; reserved space in all special courses and workshops. Website:
