This month on the ISIE-SEM blog, Anthony Halog shares his experiences from a fellowship in Japan and we provide advance notice of the 2014 Gordon Research Conference in Industrial Ecology. Tao Lin, Yunjun Yu, Xuemei Bai, Ling Feng and Jin Wang provide details of their recent article in PLoS ONE on GHG emissions accounting for Xiamen City, China. We’d also like to remind you that nominations are now open for two awards which will be presented at the ISIE conference in Ulsan, South Korea in June. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our colleagues’ achievements, but it requires the effort to put forward excellent nomination packages. Get your nominations in by 30 April 2013.
Contributions to the blog (http://isie-sem.blogspot.com.au) are very welcome. It is a great way to describe and promote your institutions, advertise conferences and jobs, and alert international colleagues to recent research and publications. Showcasing institutes, especially, has been a very popular feature. Please send articles (and images if available) to karin.hosking@csiro.au. They don’t need to be long – 200 to 300 words are plenty – and we have an in-house editor if you have any concerns about your English. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
