Natural Arts and Sciences Speaker Series: Climate Research in the UNESCO Cascade Head Biosphere Region

Come learn about the 4CAST Project —a community-focused climate research effort within the UNESCO Cascade Head Biosphere Region. The presentation will highlight the work being done inside the Biosphere by project partners aiming to observe and interpret climate change across the uplands, river and its estuary, the intertidal, and the open ocean. Learn about key active projects including meteorological monitoring utilizing regional and micro-scale weather stations, the Pheno-Cam plant phenology network, acoustic bat monitoring, Sitka spruce growth tracking, Green Crab invasion surveys, ocean acidification monitoring, a new tidepool mussel monitoring program, and more. Join scientists, artists, and topic experts to learn how these efforts link real-time observations to climate trends and what they mean for coastal ecosystems and communities.
