2023 Webinars
The CAE Resources Advisory Panel plans and organizes a series of one-hour webinars related to the current issue “Adapting to a Changing Climate” for the student teams to learn more about the connections of the issue to the study topic areas of wildlife, aquatics, soils and forestry.
Academics and natural resource experts in the field will present their lectures via Zoom.
This is an opportunity for the teams to interact with them.
The Zoom link will be provided prior to the date of the webinar.
