News

Allows pages to be selected as news articles. There is already a News term for the Article type but I envisage moving all Article nodes to Page nodes. It may be appropriate, at a later stage, to make sub-terms, e.g. "General interest" and "web site" occurred to me but at the moment it seems "web site" related news is probably of general interest to any one visiting the site.

First meeting of Steemi,the Student Ecological and Environmental Modelling Initiative on Tuesday 7th February 2012

Fri, 10/02/2012 - 09:13 — jonathanm

The first meeting of STEEMI, the Student Ecological and Environmental Modelling Initiative took place on Tuesday 7th February 2012. I met up with four students studying for a BSc in Ecological Science at the University of Edinburgh, and we discussed the value of models within ecology, and the potential to improve the practice of modelling.

Ecological and environmental models are a vital tool for capturing our understanding of complex human/nature systems, and for exploring possible futures in the face of unprecedented global challenges.
