The Global Change Research Symposiumunder the name of“Human and Ecosystem Response to Global Change Evidence and Application” is going to beheld in Ostuni, Brindisi, Southern Italy on September 16-18, 2014.(http://www.global2014.it/).
 
This Symposium will bring international leading scientists from relevant fields to discuss the theme of how global change research can support management decisions and interventions to mitigate different stressors and protect ecosystem services and human well-being.
 
Contributions are expected in one or more of the following themes:
 
·         Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS)
·         Global change ecology
·         Remote sensing of global change
·         Ecosystem modeling and management
·         Green infrastructure and biodiversity
·         Ecosystem services evaluation and policy making

Other contributions of interest are those related with the theory in landscape ecology and natural resource management, providing examples of successful case studies, advanced remote sensing applications (including LIDAR), and comparative analyses world-wide.
