23-24 March 2012. *Beyond carbon: ensuring justice and equity in REDD+ 
across levels of governance*. St. Anne's College, Oxford, UK. Reducing 
Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) has rapidly 
become a key pillar of international cooperation on climate change. 
Since its inception in 2005, REDD+ has grown in scope from being a cheap 
mitigation option and opportunity to address the 15-20% of global GHG 
emissions attributed to deforestation into a wider set of activities 
that reach beyond the carbon dimension of REDD+. They promote forest 
carbon stocks, sustainable management of forests and forest conservation 
as well as deliver co-benefits such as biodiversity conservation and 
poverty alleviation. A host of state and non-state actors at all levels 
of governance have entered this emerging policy field. This conference 
takes stock of these developments to date. It addresses them from both 
natural and social science perspectives and discusses the role of 
justice and equity in current debates on REDD+. Its particular aim is to 
discuss the limits and opportunities in deriving co-benefits from REDD+ 
activities. For questions please email Maria Mansfield

*Microsoft Research - Postdoctoral Scientists - Ecology / Earth System / 
Conservation Science. *Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK. The 
Computational Ecology and Environmental Science (CEES) group at 
Microsoft Research seeks postdoctoral scientist applicants for two 
positions. The initial tenure is for two years, with the possibility of 
a third year extension. */Conservation Science:/* One position within 
the Conservation at Microsoft research unit. The goal of the research 
carried out within the group is to develop and accelerate better, 
predictive, actionable science in areas of societal (and by extension 
policy) importance. Areas of potential work may include (but are not 
limited to) conservation impact assessment, risk assessment, 
agricultural modelling, food security, early warning signals / leading 
indicators, ecosystem modelling, land-use change modelling, species 
discovery and extinction modelling. */Earth System Modelling/*: One 
position for an applicant able to make an important contribution to a 
pioneering new approach to earth system modelling. The CEES group is 
developing and refining approaches to producing more accurate, 
comparable and compatible earth system models and their components. We 
are seeking first-rate scientists with a passionate interest in, and 
scientific and technical ability to dramatically improve models of key 
earth system components such as marine and terrestrial ecosystems. 
Candidates must be interested in and be able and motivated to tackle 
significant methodological challenges (e.g., enabling detailed model 
intercomparisons, in accounting for, inferring, and propagating multiple 
sources of uncertainty and in enabling the identification of the optimal 
spatial, temporal and abstraction resolution). We are looking for 
exceptional candidates. You will be a highly motivated scientist with 
strong quantitative modelling skills, computational proficiency, an 
understanding of and desire to do research at the science-policy 
interface, and proven track record of publications in leading 
peer-reviewed journals. You will be expected to produce leading 
scientific research in the chosen area of work, publish results in top 
scientific journals, and interact closely with other members of the 
group and group collaborators. These positions offer the opportunity to 
join a unique scientific lab that affords the successful candidate the 
opportunity to undertake world-leading scientific research and develop a 
position of future leadership in a chosen field. The Computational 
Science Lab at Microsoft Research offers a stimulating and rewarding 
working environment. The positions come with a very attractive salary 
and comprehensive benefits. Applicants for the */Conservation Science 
position/* should send a CV, contact details of three referees, and a 
short statement of interest to Dr. Lucas Joppa: lujoppa at microsoft.com 
<mailto:lujoppa at microsoft.com>. Applicants for the */Earth System 
Modelling position/* should send above materials to Dr. Matthew Smith: 
matthew.smith at microsoft.com <mailto:matthew.smith at microsoft.com> All 
applications must be received by */February 6th, 2012/*. From Artur Gil, 
Applied GIS RS List.

or office work that you would like to share, please send to me

*/Out, out damn spot!/*I am not the neatest person in the world and 
occasionally I will get spots of oil on my clothes. I found that if I 
rub some liquid dishwasher detergent on the spot before throwing in in 
the washing machine, that the spot disappears. - Gyde
