The Internet and wireless communication networks are transforming how society handles the explosive growth yet dwindling half-life of environmental information. Addressing the transition to knowledge-based economies, the interdisciplinary minitrack on environmental online communication investigates the role of information technology in advocating sustainability and ecosystem protection.
The minitrack focuses on the design, implementation, management, funding, promotion, use and evaluation of environmental information systems. It explores the role of such systems in building communities, maintaining organizations, engaging groups in decision-making, and supporting education and advocacy campaigns. Theoretical work on the methodological, technological and organizational foundations of environmental online communication will complement case studies of planned and successfully deployed systems.
Selected papers will be fast-tracked to the third volume of the "Environmental Communication Yearbook", edited by A/Prof Stephen P. Depoe (www.erlbaum.com/senecah.htm).
