The Topics

4:30pm Climate Change and the Implications for Southern Alberta

Dr. Dave Sauchyn - Senior Research Scientist at PARC, U of R

We all know about the variability of the weather in Southern Alberta, floods, droughts, hail, extreme temperature changes. Now imagine that amplified and you have the potential outcome of climate change. The impacts can be managed by adapting policy, practices and structures, but only if the rates of human caused climate change are kept within reasonable limits.

7:00pm Counting Grizzly Bears in Alberta-Too Many or Not Enough

Gord Stenhouse – Carnivore Biologist & Program Lead Grizzly Bear Program, Foothills Research Institute

What techniques are being used to determine current population levels? What do the results of extensive surveys mean in context to the human use of grizzly bear habitat? This, along with futures directions and trends in the grizzly bear populations in Alberta will all be part of this fascinating presentation.
