EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT

 DATE: Nov. 4–8, 2013

EVENT: Several events highlighting ongoing climate change adaptation projects and programs will be featured at the University of Michigan and across Ann Arbor. The events will provide opportunities to learn how U-M’s Graham Sustainability Institute is at the forefront of connecting climate change researchers with practitioners working throughout the ecological, agricultural and urban sectors.

Two of the events are free to the general public: 1) the annual symposium of GLISA, the Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments, at 1:30-5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4, at U-M’s Palmer Commons; and 2) a U-M Sustainability Town Hall at 4-5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 6, at the Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery.

The GLISA symposium will also be live-streamed on the web. For the meeting agenda and to pre-register for the webcast, visit: http://bit.ly/1dSYQPM.
