Biennial Scientific Conference on the GYE

The Greater Yellowstone biennial scientific conference series, initiated in 1991, is designed to encourage awareness and application of wide-ranging, high-caliber scientific work on the region's natural and cultural resources. These conferences, with the active involvement of professional societies and other institutions, provide a much-needed forum for knowledge-sharing among hundreds of researchers, park managers, and the general public. They attract world-class speakers and are interdisciplinary by design.

These conferences, and the eight large proceedings volumes they have produced, are perhaps the single most significant new source of scientific information on Greater Yellowstone in the history of the region.

The 9th conference, The '88 Fires: Yellowstone and Beyond, will focus on the 20th anniversary of the 1988 fires in the Yellowstone area. It will be held September 22-27, 2008, at the Snow King Resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Yellowstone and the International Association of Wildland Fire are presenting this conference with the support of a consortium of partners. It will be both a first rate scientific meeting and a homecoming for the many people who were involved in the 1988 fires in Yellowstone.
