DESCRIPTION:Scientists have studied changes in climate and environmental patterns for 
 decades. More recently, the issue has been elevated to a higher public 
 profile. Multiple research projects are tracing patterns of environmental 
 change to climate change and using predictive models to give a glimpse of 
 future rates of change and resultant effects on the vegetation and animals. 
 \n\nYosemite National Park is an area of interest, having elevations of 
 over 9,000 feet, and is also extensively studied with historical records. 
 Within the park, biologists have completed a detailed update of vegetation 
 maps and have recently finished a 100-year resurvey of vertebrates, mapping 
 both the historical and current ranges. When these maps are compared to 
 maps of climate change, it suggests that ranges and climate changes may be 
 linked. In these complex systems, there are several factors affecting 
 distribution and changes in both flora and fauna but climate change is one 
 factor that can be extensively measured.\n\nJoin our team of high Sierra 
 experts as we explore how the patterns of environmental and biotic changes 
 may be tied to a changing climate and understand how their research affects 
 management decisions. We will examine the Tuolumne Meadows, Tioga Crest, 
 and the Sierra's eastern slopes to better understand the detected changes. 
 Lectures, examination of regional photo retakes, and field site visits will 
 illustrate how scientists are documenting the role of climate in this 
 environment.\n\nWorkshop Instructors: \n***Connie Millar ~ Sierra Nevada 
 Research Center, PSW Research Station, USDA Forest Service\n***Jessica 
 Lundquist ~ Assistant Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, 
 University of Washington\n***Guest lecture by David Graber ~ Chief 
 Scientist, Pacific West Region, National Park Service\n\nCourse fee 
 includes accommodations, meals, park fees, and transportation for the 
 duration of the workshop.  Camping will be on private property with running 
 water and flush toilets.\n
