Phenology is key research in understanding how climate influences life history events and climate change is and will be impacting ecosystems.

Organizer:

Preferred date(s):

Sept 10

Sept 13

Number of 2 hour sessions requested:

Equipment requested:

screen, projector, flip chart, easel

Additional Comments:

We talked about merging with the other proposed phenology workshop but it sounds like the scope, species and objectives of the two sessions are very different so they could be scheduled separately as long as they aren't overlapping.
