Dr Terry Root: Climate Change and Its Effects

April 24 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm



Dr.Terry L. Root, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
at Stanford University, will help to clear away some of the confusion about
climate change. She'll fill us in on the effects of climate change on
wildlife, including birds.

Terry L. Root primarily works on how wild animals and plants are changing
with climate change, with a current focus on the possible mass extinction of
species with warming. She actively works at making scientific information
accessible to decision makers and the public. For example, she has been a
Lead Author for the Third (2001) and Fourth (2007) Assessment Reports of the
Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change and a Review Editor for the Fifth
(2014) Assessment Report. In 2007 the IPCC was co-awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize with Vice President Al Gore.

In addition to other honors, Root was awarded the Spirit of Defenders Award
for Science by the Defenders of Wildlife in 2010, in 1999 she was chosen as
an Aldo Leopold Leadership Fellow, in 1992 as a Pew Scholar in Conservation
and the Environment and in 1990 as a Presidential Young Investigator Award
from the National Science Foundation. Terry is a member of the national
Audubon Board of Directors.
