2010 GLBRC Sustainability Retreat

February 10-12, 2010

The GLBRC Sustainability (Thrust 4) retreat was held on February 10-12, 2010 at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station. The meeting provided an opportunity for researchers to share results, build collaborations, and influence the overall direction of sustainability research within the Center. The meeting began at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, February 10 and adjourned at noon on Friday, February 12. An evening poster session was also included.
