    <p class="MsoNormal">This seminar is motivated by the successful
      renewal of the
      Santa Barbara Coastal Long Term Ecological Research project (SBC
      LTER IV). The
      seminar will review the overall research plan of SBC LTER IV along
      with its specific
      research themes and related rationales and approaches.­­­­­ <br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Relevant background
      topics from marine ecology, evolutionary biology, and coastal
      oceanography will
      also be reviewed. The seminar will include presentations by
      members of the UCSB
      marine science community who are working in the SBC LTER. Graduate
      students
      will be introduced to researchers, faculty, post-docs, and other
      graduate
      students who are currently conducting SVC LTER-related research. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">The main goals
      of the seminar are two-fold: (1) to acquaint new and continuing
      graduate
      students with the scope of proposed research in SBC LTER IV, and
      (2) to review
      past and ongoing research that the new program will build on.
      Please consider
      attending this seminar, especially if your dissertation research
      is related to
      the SBC LTER IV and if you are supported by the project.</p><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span><span><span><span><div align=""><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>Jenny Dugan</b><br>
