The 2012 World Conference on Natural Resource Modeling is being held at The University of Queensland from 9-12 July.

Keynote speakers are Professor Anne Chao (National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan), EJ Millner-Gulland (Imperial College, London) and our very own Qaecologist Michael Bode (The University of Melbourne, Australia).

There is a call for papers, which can be accessed via http://www.edg.org.au/rma-talkproposals.html. Submission of papers closes on 14th May 2012, with proposals assessed daily and a swift response about acceptance.

The conference does not have a particular theme, except broadly in the area of Natural Resource Modeling, marking the 25 years since the journal of this name was established by the Resource Modeling Association.

Various members of QAECO will be there, so we look forward to meeting you for what promises to be an interesting conference with some delightful Brisbane weather in July.
