USGS Web-Searchable Database of Environmental Methods. A new standardized web-searchable database of environmental methods allows scientists and managers monitoring water quality to compare data collection methods at a glance and find the method that best meets their needs. The tool also allows monitoring data to be shared among different agencies and organizations that use different methods at different times. This database, called the National Environmental Methods Index (NEMI), was developed in conjunction with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other partners in the federal, state, and private sectors. By visiting www.nemi.gov, users can directly access current methods information.

Call for Proposals. International Studies Association, 45th Annual Convention, Montreal, Quebec, Canada 17-20 March, 2004. Conference Theme: Hegemony And Its Discontents: Power, Ideology And Knowledge In The Study And Practice Of International Relations. The theme of this conference refers to the unavoidable linkages between power and ideology, between the study and the practice of international relations, and thus ultimately between power and knowledge. We want to use the conference to explore these relationships and to reflect on our role as scholars in constructing (consciously or unconsciously) the practices of international relations; whatever we might think we are doing in our teaching and writing are we implicitly reinforcing the existing power relationship in the world of international relations? How might our work as scholars contribute to the continuing dominance of politics over economics, of US, and western, power over other areas of the world, and of specific forms of public politics over the private realm? Thus, we are interested in questions about hegemony in both the study and practice of international relations. Underlying this focus are questions concerning the sociology, psychology and politics of the discipline, and its role in reinforcing and protecting economic, political, ethnic and gendered inequalities in world politics. These questions are particularly relevant in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, a set of events the explanations of which bring to centre stage the linkages between the study and the practice of international politics. These events mean that the field of international relations faces a challenge every bit as fundamental as that posed by the Cold Wars end. More than ten years after the collapse of the bipolar rivalry that long dominated the theory and practice of international relations, the current transformation is rife with both possibilities and pitfalls. Will the new theoretical shoots of the intervening decade prosper or wither in a sharply changed global environment? Will this environment encourage diversification or reification of the neorealist/neoliberal and constructivist approaches? How will the study of power, poverty, interest, and identity be shaped by the ramifying experience of war? And will such conflict consciously or otherwise be interpreted primarily as the product of policy choices made since the Cold Wars end, or as the inevitable result of the Cold Wars end? We welcome papers that deal with the following issues: * The nature of hegemony and power in world politics; * The relationship between political and economic hegemony; * Hegemony and dominance in the study of international relations; * September 11th and the changing nature of international relations; * The impact of hegemony within the discipline on issues of gender, race and ethnicity; * The relationship between theory and practice; * The professional role and ethical responsibilities of the international relations scholar; and * The sociology of the academic profession of International Relations. GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING PROPOSALS: All proposals for papers, posters and panels should be submitted directly to Steve Lamy and Rob English, 2004 ISA Program Chair, School of International Relations, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0043, USA. Please use the paper or panel proposals forms available on the ISA web-site, in the annual convention program, or in ISP when submitting proposals.

Complex Environmental Systems: Synthesis For Earth, Life, And Society In The 21st Century,” prepared by the NSF Advisory Committee on Environmental Research and Education (ACERE). The report outlines a 10-year outlook for NSF as the Foundation considers frontiers for research and education in environmental science and engineering: how to “frame integrated interdisciplinary research questions and activities and to merge data, approaches, and ideas across spatial, temporal, and societal scales.” The report recommended an increase of $1 billion per year in NSF support for environmental research, education and assessment and an emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches. The NSB report was catalyzed by the efforts of the National Council for Science and the Environment. To obtain a copy of “Complex Environmental Systems: Synthesis for Earth, Life, and Society in the 21st Century,” send an e-mail to ere-info@nsf.gov with your name and address. Copies will also be available at NCSE’s National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment on January 30-31, 2003. NSF Director Rita Colwell will be presenting the 3rd John H.
