About the speaker
Dr. Greg Henry is a Professor Emeritus, Geography, at the University of British Columbia. He has been working to understand the consequences of environmental change, driven by the changing climate, on Arctic tundra ecosystems through long-term observations and field experiments. Studies of plant growth, phenology and reproduction, biodiversity responses, biotic interactions, evolutionary and migration potential of plant species, carbon and nutrient fluxes, and effects of permafrost disturbance form the basis of investigations by his group.
His lab also works in Arctic communities to help northern students understand and interpret observations of environmental change by elders through shared field and class experiences and participation in science-based projects.
More about the meeting
The keynote presentation will be followed by brief reports from some of our interest groups and projects, which are an opportunity for guests to learn more about what we do.
There will then be a break with a chance to meet new people and socialize with old friends. Tea, coffee and treats will be available (by donation). A short business meeting for members follows the break.
