Zoom, livestreamed on YouTube
University of Florida
All are welcome to attend.
This three-part colloquium will describe what it is like to work at the U.S. National Science Foundation as a Program Director, the program that Dr. Binford directed (a convergence of Geography and Biology), and a Macrosystems Biology project that is mapping forest management practices at the continental scale as the first step of incorporating forest management into Earth Systems Models.
Dr. Binford is Professor of Geography at UF. He has a BS in Biology from Kansas State University, an MS in Fisheries from Louisiana State University and a PhD in Biology from Indiana University. His research interests can be called Macrosystems Biogeography because nobody knows what that means.
