Abstract submission deadline:  November 15, 2018

Wisconsin Wetlands Association invites you to submit an abstract for presentation at our 24th annual Wetland Science Conference. We seek proposals for oral presentations and posters on wetland research, restoration, and management projects. We welcome presentations on work done in all wetland community types and from the Midwest region, as long as the content of the presentation applies to wetlands of Wisconsin. We especially encourage submissions on topics related to the theme, Wetlands: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. WWA celebrates our 50th year since our founding in 1969, so this year’s theme offers a unique opportunity to look back at wetland science, policy, and management, while looking forward at what we need to accomplish as a wetland community in the next 50 years.
This 2-day conference will include a keynote address, organized symposia, topical oral sessions, a poster session, working groups, a banquet, and wetland field trips.
We ask that authors submitting abstracts for oral presentations select up to three topical areas from the list below that best fit the presentation’s focus. This will help conference planners to assign accepted abstracts to the most appropriate session. We reserve the right to change session titles to best accommodate accepted abstracts into the conference schedule.
•         Wetlands yesterday, today, tomorrow (look-backs at older restoration & management case studies, how they are doing, what we are doing now, and what we need to do in future to care for these places)
•         Wetland wildlife (including mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, invertebrates)
•         Applications of wetland science in policy and regulation
•         Hydrology & geomorphology
•         Native wetland flora / plant communities
•         Watershed approaches to wetland conservation (watershed-scale assessment & planning)
•         Wetland assessment (site-specific, e.g., quality, type, management planning, etc.)
•         Wetland invasive species
•         Wetland mitigation (science, approaches, practices, standards)
•         Wetland restoration & management case studies
•         Wetlands & groundwater
•         Wetlands and people (e.g. history, culture education, outreach, citizen monitoring, recreation)
•         Wetlands in a changing climate
•         Wetlands in a landscape context (the role of wetlands in particular landscapes, e.g., riparian, agricultural, forestry, and urban)
Abstracts that address the theme Wetlands: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow will receive priority consideration in the review process. All abstract-related inquiries should be directed to Katie Beilfuss at (608) 250-9971 or programs at wisconsinwetlands.org<mailto:programs at wisconsinwetlands.org>.
Guidelines for oral presentations:
Speakers are allowed 15 minutes for presentations and 5 minutes for questions, and are expected to present analyzed results and conclusions.
Guidelines for poster presentations:
Posters are encouraged as they allow extended informal discussions and active participation by authors and co-authors. Posters are displayed for a full day, and interested persons can view the poster even when the author is not in attendance.
Formal Session: Wednesday, February 20, 2019, from 5:00 - 6:30 pm
Content: Anything that would be appropriate for the oral sessions as well as preliminary research or project where data have yet to be collected and/or analyzed or describes a project that did not result in new information or techniques for wetland restoration and management.
Size: Posters need to be no larger than 3’H x 4’W to fit on this year’s display boards Please plan accordingly.

Student presentation competition
As part of our ongoing efforts to encourage and support the next generation of wetland scientists and practitioners, Wisconsin Wetlands Association will host a student presentation competition again this year, awarding cash prizes to the best oral presentation and best poster presentation by a student. Current students and recent graduates who are presenting their student research at the conference are eligible to participate. Those interested in participating should indicate this when submitting their abstracts.
We also expect to be able to offer scholarships to students to offset registration fees. Priority for these scholarships will go to student presenters.
