[Biology-U-L] workshop: “LOCAL IIMPACTS OF CLIIMATE CHANGE"

[Biology Undergraduate List]

“LOCAL IIMPACTS OF CLIIMATE CHANGE”

How the natural world is responding to climate change, and how you can 
help to detect these changes.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 2008
3:30-4:45pm, State Street Room of the UCEN at UCSB

Focus The Nation – UCSB Workshop Series C
Come and learn more about the Stewardship Program and our nationwide 
partners, the USA National Phenology Network and Project Budburst.

Led by Brian Haggerty, Director of the UCSB Phenology Stewardship Program

All around us, plants and animals are responding to climate change, often by
changing the timing of seasonal events such as flowering or migration. When
biological activities occur at unexpected times, the consequences can 
include
population crashes and lower agricultural productivity. This workshop 
will inform you
about the links between climate change and plant and animal behavior, 
and it will
introduce you to a nationwide campaign with roots at UCSB that invites 
the public to
participate in detecting the effects of climate change on the natural world.
The UCSB Phenology Stewardship Program is a growing network of students,
scientists, and educators in the Santa Barbara region who are dedicated 
to research,
environmental education, and community outreach for the study of seasonal
biological events and their responses to climate change.
