Please join Yoichiro Kanno, associate professor in the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Biology at Colorado State University, for a presentation titled "Climate Change Impacts on Brook Trout Populations in the Southeastern USA."

In this seminar, Kanno, will present an analysis and synthesis of brook trout population data from Georgia to Maryland and discuss why climate variation affects local trout populations differently and identify key environmental factors that make trout populations more resilient to climate change. This research informs landscape prioritization of habitat protection and restoration and highlights the importance of identifying climate refugia for sustaining brook trout and other cold-adapted species in the southeastern U.S.

Kanno's presentation is part of the Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center's Science Seminar series. The virtual seminars highlight SE CASC-supported projects and other relevant research that supports resource management actions across the Southeast.
