March 29, 2021Alice Besterman, NE CASC Postdoctoral Fellow, Buzzards Bay Coalition & Woodwell Climate Research Center, MA Join us for the live stream March 24, 11:45am EST: youtu.be/a1Lyc2p5u6Q Abstract Salt marshes across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic are experiencing rapid expansion of shallow pools, which are “eating” marshes from the inside out. Sea level rise, in interaction with numerous […]

February 19, 2021Anna Armitage, Professor, Department of Marine Biology, Texas A&M University at Galveston, TX Join us for the live stream Feb 24, 11:45am EST: youtu.be/S9EQvCYJrsE Abstract Climate change is driving landscape-scale shifts in plant species distributions and abundances, subsequently altering ecosystem structure and function. Such shifts are occurring along the Texas Gulf Coast (USA), where increases […]

February 3, 2021Keryn Gedan, Assistant Professor, Biological Sciences, George Washington University, DC Join us for the live stream Feb 10, 11:45am EST (note, there will not be a public recording for this seminar): youtu.be/DtmPfdG_ID4 Abstract Ghost forests are formed when sea level rise and saltwater intrusion kill trees at the coastal interface. While the formation of ghost […]

January 22, 2021Sam Zipper, Assistant Scientist, Kansas Geological Survey, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS Join us for the live stream March 17, 11:45am EST, or view later: youtu.be/OFpqrcblnS0. Abstract Non-perennial streams and rivers account for over 50% of global river network length, but are poorly understood relative to their perennial counterparts. This lack of understanding of the hydrology […]
