Biological field stations: an opportunity to walk the
talk
12:00 Noon
University Union, Havasupai A/B
Philippe S. Cohen, Ph.D., Administrative Director
Stanford University, Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve
Description of Talk:
Biological field stations are major (if hidden)
contributors to our understanding of important environmental issues
of the past century. Field stations need to improve their commitment
to sustainable infrastructure, not only for the message it sends,
but because it bears directly upon their long-term viability.
