Research at the Forest Research Symposia Since 1999, Black Rock Forest has held a research symposium every other year to highlight the scientific investigations taking place in the Forest and to give researchers the opportunity to learn about each other’s work. Sixth Black Rock Forest Research Symposium, June 22, 2009The Sixth Research Symposium took place on June 22, 2009, with one session in the morning and two simultaneous sessions in the afternoon. Twenty-one scientists from Consortium member institutions and other organizations around the Hudson Highlands presented papers on topics including forest ecology, biological diversity, mercury dynamics and impacts, exotic and invasive species, and historical records of carbon dioxide in the region. Seven posters were on display in the Science Center and the Forest Lodge. Abstracts of the talks are now available (pdf).
