The seventh annual Research Insights in Semiarid Ecosystems (RISE) Symposium will feature invited speakers presenting recent research on the USDA-ARS Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed, University of Arizona Santa Rita Experimental Range and other outdoor laboratories.  There will also be a poster session where students and researchers are encouraged to report on completed or in-progress studies.  Time will be available for questions from the audience.

Registration:  $10 for students; $25 for all others (lunch included)

The deadline for registration (as a courtesy for catering plans) is 17 September 2010.  Late registrations will be accepted at the Symposium site from 8:30 to 9:00 AM.

Submission deadline for poster presentation is 10 September 2010. We have space from only 20 posters, and poster abstracts will be accepted in order of submission.
