Go here to explore a new set of pages – Birds and Climate - on the ABO web site.
This information was compiled and the pages designed undergraduate student Nicole Torre (Department of Biology and Wildlife, University of Alaska, Fairbanks) and funded by the Alaska Space Grant Fellowship Program through the Institute of Arctic Biology. The project is part of a NASA funded collaborative project examining climate-induced habitat change at Creamer’s Refuge in Fairbanks, Alaska led by Lila Tauzer, an interdisciplinary graduate student at University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
