Climate Change and Wildlife Webinars
Wednesday, May 13, 2009(National Wildlife Federation)
The National Wildlife Federation
(NWF) is pleased to announce that we will
host regular webinars with experts on climate
change and wildlife related
issues. We plan to host these monthly starting
on May 13th at 1:30 PM (eastern
time). If you wish to join in these calls,
please RSVP to Naomi Edelson at edelsonn@nwf.org.
The first call will be on May 13th at 1:30 PM eastern time. Patty Glick, Senior Global Warming Specialist at NWF, will present the findings of a recent literature review on climate change adaptation for wildlife and natural resources. To put the issue into context, she will also highlight results of NWF's analyses of sea-level rise impacts to coastal habitats and will offer a range of potential adaptation measures for coastal systems.
We plan to highlight experts in the emerging climate change and wildlife field as well as state and federal agencies in the forefront of integrating climate change into their wildlife management efforts.
Future Speakers include:
Chris Zganjar, The Nature Conservancy, ClimateWizard Model
Dr. Molly Cross, Wildlife Conservation Society, Emmissions Scenario Planning
Dr. Katherine Hayhoe, Downscaling Climate Data for your site, state or region
Dr. Jennie Hoffman, EcoAdapt, Vulnerability Assessments and worldwide efforts
Please send Naomi any ideas for speakers or topics!
