title: The Anthropocene Biosphere: Supporting 'Open Interdisciplinarity' through Blogging.
abstract: This paper describes a process of 'open' interdisciplinary scholarship. Researchers from across the University of Oklahoma blogged about a recent paper by ecologist Erle Ellis, and met in person to discuss posts. They then hosted Ellis for a seminar on questions that emerged, and for a public panel discussion.
