Submission Guidelines

A paper can be submitted for any or all of the following four categories:

 - Contributed (or General) Sessions;

 - Poster Sessions;

 - Sponsored Sessions; or

 - Graduate Students' Featured Sessions.

The submitter should plan to attend and present. Each submission requires an abstract of no more than 1,000 words (not including references) that describes the paper. Each potential presenter may submit a maximum of two abstracts (though may be a co-author of papers to be presented by others). The presenter in the case of the Graduate Students' Featured Session must be a graduate student. All participants must register for the conference by April 15, 2012 in order to be included in the final program.

Electronic acknowledgement of submission will be sent to all submitters. Proposals for complete ses­sions are also encouraged. Organizers of proposed sessions should submit complete information for each of the papers. The submission form on the con­ference website includes a space in which to indicate that papers are part of an organized session. Papers submitted as part of a proposed session may be accepted or rejected on an individual basis unless the organizer specifically requests the session be consid­ered only in its entirety. Finally, we will consider papers on any topic related to the environment for a concurrent poster session. Please note that all selected paper and poster presenters must be 2012 AERE members.
