 ===========================
 
 
 
 Here is the schedule for the Spring 2012 Northeast Climate Science
 Center Colloquium - mark your calendars and spread the word!
 
 This spring, our focus expands to the Northeast U.S. and the partner
 institutions associated with the recently-awarded Department of the
 Interior Northeast Climate Science Center (DOI NECSC).   This center
 is hosted by UMass Amherst with a consortium of partners including
 Columbia University, University of Minnesota, College of Menominee
 Nation, Marine Biological Laboratory, University of Missouri, and
 University of Wisconsin.  Members from each consortium institution
 will be speaking as part of this semester's Colloquium.  The
 Colloquium is open to all, and is designed to attract an audience
 interested in interdisciplinary research with a focus on regional
 climate change issues.  The colloquium will present research on
 climate change and impacts, encouraging collaboration within the
 Northeast climate research community, connecting regional stakeholders
 and climate researchers, as well as defining future directions of
 regional climate change research.  
 
 All events are broadcast by webinar.  Most speakers will be speaking
 remotely from their home campus.
 
 Thanks for your participation!
 Best,
 Addie Holland, Richard Palmer, and Raymond Bradley.
