GLIN==> Webinar: Climate Change and Ecosystems in the Great Lakes - Thursday, October 14

October 14, 2010
12:00 – 1:00pm EST

Log in will begin at 11:30 AM
Program will begin at 12:00

Sponsored by the OSU Climate Change Outreach Team

How could climate change affect the species and habitats around us the Great
Lakes region? This webinar will provide information about how:
  * Climate change will alter forests and other ecosystems in the Great
    Lakes by changing the distributions of key species
  * Ecological interactions among organisms can be disrupted by climate
    change, such as between herbivores and the plants
  * Insect outbreaks triggered by climate change may change the structure
    and function of forests in the Great Lakes and how this is already
    happening elsewhere
  * Climate will alter the lifecycles and distributions of key agricultural
    pests in the Great Lakes

Speakers

Dan Herms, is Professor of Entomology at The Ohio State University, based
at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) in Wooster.
His  research,  and  that  of  his students, has focused on effects of
temperature  and  elevated  atmospheric  carbon  dioxide on ecological
interactions between plants and insects, as well as carbon sequestration in
urban forests. He is a member of the OSU Climate Change Outreach Team.
