Wednesday seminar focuses on climate change, carbon dynamics

"Planning for Alaska's future: Linking climate change science and carbon dynamics to real-world decision-making" will be presented Wednesday, July 28 at 9 a.m. in the UAF Arctic Health Research Building, Room 183.

At the seminar, Nancy Fresco, candidate for research assistant professor with the Scenarios Network for Alaska and Arctic Planning, will discuss her goals for future collaborative research projects in modeling ecosystem change and carbon dynamics, as well as present an overview of some of her ongoing work at SNAP. These projects link climate projections with other ecological and environmental research, with a strong focus on outreach and collaboration in order to assist land managers and other stakeholders in long-term planning.

The seminar is open to the public and can be distance delivered to other UA locations if there is interest. Please contact Steve Peterson for distance delivery information. For seminar information, contact Susan Todd.
