Spring 2014 AIM-UP! Seminar
Museum Collections and Climate Change Biology
University of California, Berkeley, University of New Mexico
This course is offered as a web-enabled seminar with students from UC, Berkeley and UNM. Others are remotely attending the seminar from University of Alaska, Fairbanks and Harvard.
Time: Tue. 10-11:30am, PST starting Jan. 28
Course Description: This seminar will focus on the role of museum natural history collections in documenting and exploring the impact of climate change on natural systems. Guest speakers – including faculty, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate students from UC Berkeley and other schools – will present for one hour each week on climate change-related investigations that have been informed by museum specimens, followed by student-led discussion. This seminar will be live-cast across four campuses (U.C. Berkeley, Harvard, U. Alaska, and U. New Mexico) for a unique format.
