Not a workshop, per se, but some great research to get involved with:
A study of long-term ecology research in Australia, organised by Kara Youngentob at AEDA's ANU hub
"On behalf of David Lindemayer and Gene Likens, I would like to invite you to participate in a study of long-term ecology research in Australia.
If you are involved (or have been involved) in any long-term ecology study in Australia spanning 7 years or longer, please follow the link below to a website with more information about our project and how you can participate.
http://fennerschool-research.anu.edu.au/cle/lterm/eform.pdf
We also ask that you please forward this email to other researchers who may be able to participate in this study. As there is no current database of long-term ecological research in Australia, the success of this study depends, in part, on the assistance of fellow researchers.
Thank you in advance for your help."

AEDA Communication Day
In January 2010 AEDA researchers met with DEWHA staff in Canberra to present and discuss AEDA's work since it's inception in 2007, and to discuss possible future research directions. Eight main areas were covered (see below), with time equally divided between AEDA's presentation, and discussion with DEWHA staff present.
It was an exciting day, with excellent attendance and some great discussions. All powerpoint presentations and reference papers discussed area availalbe at http://www.aeda.edu.au/DEWHA-Presentations

Presentation on an Integrated Land-Sea Planning Toolkit and its use in Aransas County, Texas, by Kiersten Madden of the Mission-Aransas NERR, Amy Anderson of Placeways, and Ian Varley of NatureServe (September 22, 2009). In this project, three decision-support tools (Placeways’ CommunityViz, NatureServe Vista, and NOAA’s Nonpoint-Source Pollution and Erosion Comparison Tool) were used in an integrated manner to develop alternative land use strategies that best meet ecological and socioeconomic sustainability objectives, including water quality and estuarine-marine resource objectives, for Aransas County, Texas, Aransas County is a coastal county that supports a healthy estuary with diverse and rare habitats. The county is experiencing rapid population growth, and the community is interested in protecting the quality of life, natural resources, and water quality. This presentation described the project context, how the local community is involved in use of the toolkit, and methods for using the tools in an integrated manner. A final product of the project is a toolkit that can be transferable to other locations and implementation guide. This project was funded in part as an EBM Tool Demonstration Project by the David & Lucile Packard Foundation. Download the recording of the presentation [Windows Media .wmv format].
