 The Australian Centre for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (ACEAS) is a virtual and physical Facility within the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) for both disciplinary and inter-disciplinary integration, synthesis and modelling of ecosystem data to aid in the development of evidenced-based environmental management strategies and policy at regional,
state and continental scales.

If you think you have an important question that needs attention, some data that will inform this problem, and people that could be put together to find a solution but have not yet applied for ACEAS funding, think about it for the current round open October 17 2011, closing November 25.

The next annual TERN Symposium will be in Adelaide at the National Wine Centre on the 28 and 29 March 2012.
Leading by Example: research and management impacts of shared ecosystem data.
There will be a streamed ACEAS debate on the evening of March 27 held at the Royal Institution of Australia in which you can participate! Teams from ACEAS-funded Working Groups and the ACEAS Sabbatical Fellow will debate the challenges of Extinction and the legacies of Landscape Transformation: how to reconcile these for the future management of our landscapes. Tune in to hear leading scientists and managers talk about these important topics. More details soon!
In 2011 the Symposium was held in Melbourne on the 29-30 March on the theme: Sustaining Long-Term Ecosystem Research and Infrastructure
The objectives of the 2011 symposium were to present and assess how TERN will enable the successful development of a sustainable and collaborative long-term ecosystem research network for Australia.
Details on the Symposium including viewable presentations by all speakers, including those of the two keynote speakers, Prof. Bill Dennison of the University of Maryland, and Dr Steve Kelling of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology are available on the TERN web site. |

Latest from ACEAS.
First paper submitted to a journal by an ACEAS Working Group, and a report of the meeting published in the on-line publication of the New Phytologist.
The Pyrogeography Working Group not only topped off their first meeting with a report for this web site (click here to read it) but followed this up with a meeting report submitted to the on-line branch of the journal New Phytologist. In addition they submitted a paper to another journal.
The outcomes of their first meeting included a system for identifying and describing major fire regime types, and reconciling phenomenological descriptions of fire regimes with conceptual models. Their results clearly showed that fire activity tracks seasonal dryness. The challenge for the next meeting is to determine how closely fire regime is linked to climate and other environmental variables and how this aligns with models in practice
Their next meeting is in December 2011, so we shall see how they progress towards their objective. A great start!

Data systems: semantics, data sharing, and documentation of analysis at the national and international scale–an NCEAS-ACEAS collaboration.
Between the 4 and 7 May 2010, a group of data integrators, data managers and eco-informatics specialists met at the Queensland University of Technology to discuss how can we best record, store and share data
