Breeanne Jackson, Ph.D. student in CFAES’s School of Environment and Natural Resources, presents “Wildfire and Stream-Riparian Food Webs in the American West” at 4 p.m. today, Jan. 23. “Understanding how wildfire influences aquatic-terrestrial linkages … can inform fire management in aquatic-terrestrial ecosystems and potentially refine ecology theory,” says the event’s website. She speaks as part of the school’s spring seminar series. (Photo: Jon Sullivan via Wikimedia Commons.)
