Phenology and
Climate Change
When
Oct. 18, 2022 @ 5 - 6:30 pm
Where
Winona Public Library - 151 W 5th St, Winona, MN 55987
About
Phenology is the study of the timing of recurring biological events (i.e. animal migrations, bloom times, breeding times, etc.). Scientists all over the world use phenology to study the effects of climate change, but they need your help! Join Nora from Happy Dancing Turtle to learn a brief history of phenology, examples of what we can learn from it, and how you can get involved by collecting data through a variety of citizen science programs. You'll have an opportunity to try apps for various programs, so bring a smart phone or tablet if you have one. Registration not required.
