Sponsored by the OSU Climate Change Outreach Team

The OSU Climate Change Outreach Team is a partnership among multiple
departments within The Ohio State University to help localize the climate
change issue by bringing research and resources to Ohioans and Great Lakes
residents. Participating OSU departments include OSU Extension; Ohio Sea
Grant; School of Environment and Natural Resources; Department of
Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics; OSU Extension
Watershed Program; Byrd Polar Research Center; Department of Geology;
Carbon, Water, and Climate Program; and the Department of Geography.

Forests are key players in biological carbon sequestration and the
conservation of biodiversity. How should these public and private lands best
be managed to help mitigate the impacts of climate change? This webinar will
provide information about:

*	Carbon storage potential of Great Lakes forests and how to measure
it
*	Impacts of forest management decisions on short and long-term forest
carbon sequestration
*	Linkages between forest age, biological and structural complexity,
and ecosystem resilience to climate change

The webinar is free, but you must pre-register by Monday, January 10, 2011.
To register, click here <http://changingclimate.osu.edu/webinars/> . Once
registered, you will receive a confirmation email with log-in information.
Contact Jill Jentes Banicki <mailto:jentes.1 at osu.edu>  with any questions.

Welcome and Introduction

Managing Great Lakes Forests for Climate Change Mitigation
Peter Curtis, Professor, Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal
Biology, Ohio State University

Question/Answer and Wrap Up

Discussions
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions via a live chat

SPEAKERS 

Peter Curtis is professor of plant ecology at Ohio State University. He
conducts research on ecosystem responses to climate change and directs the
Northern Forest Carbon Cycle Research Program in northern lower Michigan
based at the University of Michigan Biological Station. He has published
widely on ecological responses to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide, how
climate and land use affect forest carbon storage, and the role biological
complexity and ecological resilience can play in aiding our future forests.
