Event Title
Greater Everglades Ecosystem Restoration (GEER) Conference
Host Organization
Description
Science is the foundational element for Everglades restoration and management and GEER is the premier showcase for Everglades science. Sessions will feature presentations by the best and brightest working in the Everglades. Talks will address the most pressing and complex science issues that we face now and into the future of restoration – a future that includes a changing climate, threats from invasive species, altered hydrology, development pressure, and degraded water quality. Sound science relevant to these challenges and the restoration efforts is required to provide resource managers and policy-makers with the best information possible.

Why should you participate?
The conference is designed to bring together scientists and engineers, policymakers, planners, and partners actively involved in or affected by all aspects of Everglades ecosystem restoration. Participants will interact in an interdisciplinary setting to summarize and review state-of-the-art planning, management activities, and science in Everglades restoration. If your work involves science, research, or management impacting the Everglades system, you should be at this conference. GEER features an impressive line-up of presentations, offering pre-conference workshops, engaging plenary sessions, and individual talks and poster presentations addressing the most pressing and complex science issues that we face now and into the future of Everglades restoration.
