05/19 - SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM --
	ECOSYSTEMS, CRITICAL BIODIVERSITY, AND CORPORATE SURVIVAL
J. Kaufman, Almaden Research Center

Sci. & Tech. Sem.    Fri., May 19    10:30 a.m.    Room:  Aud. A

Bad things happen.  Corporations fail, species die in mass extinctions,
and whole economies collapse.  Are these miserable events an inevitable
natural consequence of dynamical systems evolving to the edge of chaos,
or do they just arise from global bad luck?   Come to the colloquium for
the answer -- or at least for the doughnuts.
