How do species adapt to changing climates and how can we help them? Some of our best examples come from the end of the last ice age, when the world warmed by 5-10F. Jack Williams will review how we study past climates and ecosystems, what we’ve learned, and insights for today.
Professor Jack Williams is Professor in Geography and a former director of the Center for Climatic Research at UW-Madison. He studies climate change and ecosystem responses to changing climates, using the end of the last ice age as a model system for understanding the effects of large global rises in temperature. His work ranges from fieldwork and coring lakes to helping lead and build global-scale community databases. He has lived in Wisconsin since 2004 and has raised his family here; he enjoys kayaking, pickleball, running with his dog, and board-gaming. Dr. Williams is a Fellow of the Ecological Society of America and Kellett Fellow at UW-Madison.
