Environmental sensor network - getting students and teachers involved in understanding the changing landscape in an Arctic Community. Speaker: Howard Epstein. This video is part of the NNA Community Office Flashtalk series.
Howard Epstein - My current research efforts are in the arctic tundra of North America and Russia, and the temperate forests of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic. In the Arctic, we are examining the recent dynamics of arctic tundra vegetation in response to changing climate and disturbances, and the effects that these vegetation changes have on other arctic ecosystem properties. In the U.S. Mid-Atlantic we are examining carbon cycling along successional gradients from old-field to old-growth, as well as carbon-water interactions in topographically complex watersheds.
