Robert Griffin-Nolan discusses "Grassland sensitivity to drought and the role of plant functional traits." He researches how plants respond to changing conditions brought on by climate change and invasive species. He uses tools from plant physiology and macroecology to understand global environmental change. Griffin-Nolan is an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at California State University, Chico.

We'll have coffee, fruit and snacks. Grad students can get credit for PLS 190 - be sure to sign the sign-in sheet at the table as you come in!
