forest conference coming to fairbanks

A big conference on boreal forests starts Wednesday at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. It's the sixth one, and it focuses on climate impacts. The goal of the 4-day conference is to assess current knowledge and future impacts and start developing an international research framework to study impacts of climate change on boreal forests. The agenda is overwhelming and looks fairly technical to someone who hasn't taken a science class since high school. Here's a link to the conference site.
