April 24th, 7:00-8:30pm Lecture | 8:30-9:00pm Reception | Executive Dining Room | 2517 Van Munching Hall (Above Rudy’s Cafe)
During the "Great Recession" that began in late 2007, the U.S. experienced the loss of nearly 9 million jobs, as well as sharp downturns in the stock and housing markets. How have these economic events affected U.S. households?

Special Introduction by Nancy K. Kopp, Treasurer, State of Maryland
SPONSORS

This annual visit is a part of CISSM's Collaborative Education and Cooperative Security project, which brings together U.S. and Russian security experts to develop courses, research projects, and interactive teaching techniques that can be used to educate a new generation about enduring problems posed by nuclear policies and emerging security problems associated with globalization.
We cordially invite you to join us and the visiting students for a social evening of pizza and a screening of "A Walk in the Woods" film on Tuesday, April 3, at 7pm in 2509 Van Munching Hall.

Fed Event: **EESG Maryland Ecosystem Trading Markets
WHAT: Maryland Ecosystem Trading Markets
WHEN: Friday 12:15 - 1:30pm March 30, 2012
WHERE: 1113 Van Munching Hall
WHO: EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN US! (Please forward to any interested parties)
Nicole F. Angeli will discuss Maryland Ecosystem Trading Markets, particularly the burgeoning Nitrogen and Phosphorus marketplace. The federally mandated Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Chesapeake Bay requires watershed states to comply with nutrient baselines outside projected technological and monetary capacities. A voluntary marketplace for agriculture and industrial facilities to reduce overall nutrient loads may incentivize further nutrient reductions due to cost differentials in Best Management Practices in the different sectors. Nicole will discuss the likelihood of participation by farmers in Maryland based on a 2011 assessment and Financial Companion Tool developed for MDA by herself, Michael Nakamoto (MBA'12), and Sameer Vaswani (MBA '12), and her personal experience consulting for farmers in Maryland over the past 9 months followed by recommendations for making a real impact in kick-starting Chesapeake Bay nutrient markets.
Nicole will receive her M.Sc. this May in Sustainable Development and Conservation Biology from the University of Maryland and has won an NSF-IGERT Traineeship in Applied Biodiversity Sciences at Texas A&M University for Ph.D. studies in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences starting in Fall 2012. Nicole's research focuses on detecting patterns of species distribution correlated to microclimate regimes using survey and remotely sensed data. Broadly, she is interested in why biodiversity is declining worldwide on multiple scales. She is currently a technological nutrient consultant for the Maryland Association of Soil Conservation Districts.
We look forward to seeing you at our discussion!
