Among the speakers are Dr. Stefan Kienzle, a geography professor, and David Hill, a director of development with the Southern Alberta Agribusiness Program. Hill will discuss how ecosystem and biodiversity data are vital to developing workable solutions and future decision making. Kienzle will talk about the work done in his lab to analyze climate data in Alberta from 1950 to 2010 and how the resulting climate indices allow for better understanding of the impacts of climate change.
