[Roundtable] NCEAS Roundtable: Dr. Stephanie Pau (Florida State University)

[Mary Hunsicker]

Dear all,

Please join us for an NCEAS Roundtable this Wednesday, June 18th at 
12:15 pm.

Dr. Stephanie Pau
Assistant Professor
Florida State University

will present a seminar on:

"The response of tropical forests to changes in cloud cover"**

Abstract:
Tropical forests are incredibly dynamic, exhibiting both rapid and 
long-term changes in growth, mortality, reproductive activity, and 
primary productivity.Cloud cover and light availability have been shown 
to strongly influence tropical forests, however, at the ecosystem scale 
the competing effects of light, temperature and precipitation have been 
difficult to assess.In this talk I will present work using satellite 
measures of cloud cover to compare the response of seasonally dry and 
wet tropical forests from three regions, the Hawaiian Islands, U.S.A., 
Barro Colorado Island, Panama, and Luquillo, Puerto Rico.

Everyone is welcome to attend.
