Wildlife Biologist Ready to Answer Phenology Questions

What questions do your students have about phenology? Dr. Dave Steinberg is a wildlife biologist at the University of New Hampshire. His research focuses on the changes in the timing of amphibian reproduction and green-up in trees in a warming climate.

Dave is ready to answer your questions! Before April 29, email student questions (or yours!)  for Dave to usglobeoffice@gmail.com. He will answer questions in a recorded video. The video will be posted to the U.S. GLOBE Office YouTube channel; the U.S. GLOBE Office will let you know when it’s posted.

This 5-minute video with Dave can help your students learn more about his research and help prompt their questions.
