Steward Pickett Presents at Today's Colloquium

Who: Steward Pickett, Institute for Ecosystem Studies will speak on, "The Structure and Function of Metropolitan Baltimore as an Ecological System." The Baltimore Ecosystem Study, Long-Term Ecological Research project is one of two LTER programs centered in urban areas. As such, it is an unusual ecologically based research program. In addition to being focused in a metropolitan matrix, with its complex mixture of natural, built, and managed ecosystem types, the project integrates ecological theory and approaches with those from social science, hydrology, atmospheric science, and education. Community engagement is a key to the success of the research. The structure, strategy and illustrative results from the Baltimore Ecosystem Study will be presented.

When/Where: Fri. Dec. 6 at 3:30 in the bldg. 3 Goett Auditorium
