Dear Colleagues,
We kindly remind you that the deadline for submitting an abstract to the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2009 is 13 January 2009!
We cordially invite you to submit an abstract for the Biodiversity Informatics session, the main objective of which is to highlight the value of adopting informatics standards for both Biodiversity and Earth and Space Science disciplines thereby promoting interoperability across heterogeneous systems and, in particular, demonstrating how the kinds of observational data mobilised by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility network can be integrated with other geospatial data to address issues relating to climate change, protected area management, invasive species, etc.
