Ghosts of the coast: Ecological investigations of a mid-Atlantic ghost forest
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 […]
