Announcing the Spring 2017 Seminar Series! Mark your calendars for the five webinars we are offering from February to April by researchers and resource managers who have increased our understanding of the impact climate change will have on natural and cultural resources and how to improve decision making and adaptation planning. These highlight the NE CSC-funded projects that have shared climate science with resource stakeholders, made regional information relevant at the local scale for managers and decision makers, and brings us insight into the Northeast’s wildlife and ecosystems vulnerability to changing climate conditions.
