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. Seventh Black Rock Forest Research Symposium, June 20, 2011The Seventh Research Symposium took place on June 20, 2011, and was cosponsored by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission and the Highlands Environmental Research Institute. There was one session in the morning and two simultaneous sessions in the afternoon. Some 25 scientists from Consortium member institutions and other organizations around the Hudson Highlands presented papers on topics including the future of oak forests, forest and climate history, microbial communities, population studies, watershed planning, and internet projects. Abstracts of the talks are now available (pdf). Abstracts of Earlier SymposiaAbstracts from the first Research Symposium (held at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory) are not available, but abstracts from later symposia are available in the Proceedings files listed below.
