“Seeing” Climate Change: Early Birds, Mismatches, and Other Repercussions of Disrupting Nature’s Clock. Climate affects when plants flower, when animals migrate, and when people decide to take their vacations and New England is in a hotspot for changes in the timing of these annual events. Dr. Abe Miller- Rushing, science coordinator at Acadia National Park and Schoodic Education and Research Center, has taken innovative approaches to studying the effects of climate change in New England and other areas of the country.

Hear his perspective as a leader in the Citizen Science Association and USA National Phenology Network. Miller- Rushing received a bachelor’s in biology from Grinnell College and a Ph.D. in ecology, evolution, and behavior from Boston University. This talk is part of the Wells Reserve’s Ted Exford Climate Stewards lecture series, made possible by Dave & Loretta (Exford) Hoglund. A donation of $5 is suggested.
