It’s an exciting time to be a natural historian! New technologies are revolutionizing how we discover, monitor, and conserve nature. Amateur naturalists, armed with cell phones and Apps, are collecting data at a rate that would have seemed impossible only a few years ago, and there is now the prospect of using similar technologies to understand how populations are changing in even the most remote forests and deepest oceans. And tens of millions of people are getting excited about what the spring sounds like. Ornithologist Ian Owens will ask what the next 10 years will look like in this fast-moving area, drawing on examples from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and other leaders in the field. For more information, and to RSVP, visit UW–Milwaukee College of Letters & Science website.

This event will be held at Student Union Ballroom (2200 East Kenwood Blvd. Milwaukee, WI 53211).
