Climate is Changing Our Forests and Plants: New Evidence from
Alaska and Our Own Backyard Kevin L. Griffin, Ph.D. Lamont-
Doherty Earth Observatory Take a walk in the woods. Do the
plants and trees look the same as years ago? Kevin Griffin is a
biologist who studies the physiology (such as photosynthesis and
respiration) of plants, especially as they respond to
environmental change. He works both in a Lamont laboratory and
at field sites worldwide. Dr. Griffin will describe his research
on plant and ecosystem responses to climate change, including
results from two of his current field sites: the tundra of
Alaska, and forests from New York City to the Catskill
Mountains.
