Students were present at many - intended as a learning experience - some for class credit. Although the real benefit was probably for the invited speakers and their presumed continuation with the Iowa sponsoring group. All the speakers were housed at the expense of the University, attendance was free to all. Paul and I were treated about the same as the invited speakers - at least two speakers coming all the way from India. Much more of a collegial feeling - with most invitees bringing expertise from outside the stoves arena. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The Iowa organizers were being honored for their work in International development - obviously (now to me) a major focus at IU. For distinct parts this day:. Besides nothing below on the longest part (Part II), also coming - more general thoughts.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">I. 8:15 – 9:00 a.m. - Keynote Presentation - “Impacts of Land Use/Land Cover Change (LULCC) on Atmospheric CO2 and Climate”</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">Atoll Jain, professor, department of atmospheric sciences, University of Illinois.
