Flash Talks

What are Flash Talks? 

Flash talks are presentations where each speaker has 10 minutes to showcase their work and then 2 minutes to answer questions. Flash talks give attendees the chance to showcase their latest research and work as it relates to the thought, experiences, and methods used for examining resilience of tropical forests and communities in the context of disturbance and transgression.
 

Below are the talks that will be presented at the 2019 ISTF conference:
