Description
The value of long-term environmental datasets is being increasingly recognised in the light of climate change and other drivers of environmental change. Robert Marsham FRS, was one of the pioneers of long-term data gathering when he started recording the “Indications of Spring” on his Norfolk estate in 1736, subsequently continued by his descendants until 1958. This meeting aims to review the various uses of long-term datasets for understanding our environment and to discuss the issues surrounding their maintenance and development.
The meeting will aim to attract practicing ecologists and policy makers who use the information in government and elsewhere. There will be a series of presentations on a variety of topics, which will be multi-disciplinary in nature, and the meeting will end with a panel discussion taking questions from the floor.
