🤝 Get-Togethers for This Listing

No meetups yet for this event.

Nobody has organized an actual get-together around this one so far. This page is the listing — it may run across a range of dates, and there's no organizer and no set plan behind it.

Someone needs to create a real meetup with a date, time and placeand that could be you. It takes about a minute, and everyone who marked themselves interested in this event can find it once you publish.

Want to Start Your Own Get-Together for this Listing?

This is a listing — the concert, festival or activity itself, and nobody is running it on qMEET. A get-together is your own smaller plan to go to it with other people: your date, your time, your meeting spot. “A few of us are going, come with us.”

You don’t need permission and you don’t take anything over — this listing isn’t changed at all. The venue, address and details are copied across, so you only pick when and where to meet.

As its organizer you get real tools to plan the when, where & what:

  • 📅 Member Availability — see which days and times everyone says they're usually free, so you know when to hold it.
  • 🎯 Member Interests & Cities — see everyone's interests and locations, so you know where to meet and what to include.
  • 🗺 Member Map — visually shows where most members are concentrated.
  • 🏷️ Activities & Voting — lists the tags and lets members vote on what they want to do.
  • 💬 Event Chat — everyone can discuss plans, who's bringing what, and last-minute changes.
  • RSVPs — who's coming, how likely, guest counts, and what they're looking forward to.
  • 🔗 Many Ways to Share or Invite — get the word out and grow attendance.

Your get-together starts hidden and set to “Only My Contacts”, with no date, so nothing is announced until you're ready. Nobody is notified when you create it. Once you set a date and switch Go Live? to Yes, it appears for people who marked themselves interested in this listing.

Title: Implications of Climate Change on Peatlands: Results of the SPRUCE Experiment

Description: The Spruce and Peatlands Responses Under Changing Environments (SPRUCE) experiment was an ecosystem-level climate simulation experiment that tested the response of high-carbon northern peatland ecosystems to increased temperatures and elevated carbon dioxide. The experiment was conducted in a black spruce bog in northern Minnesota at the USDA Forest Service’s Marcell Experimental Forest. Northern peatlands are an ecosystem considered especially vulnerable to climate change, and responses to warming and interactions with increased atmospheric CO2 concentration are anticipated to have important feedbacks on global climate. I will present an overview and some of the important results of SPRUCE to date, including treatment effects on greenhouse gas production, soil processes, plant communities, and mercury cycles.

Bio: Dr. Randy Kolka is a Research Soil Scientist at the US Forest Service Northern Research Station. Dr. Kolka conducts watershed- or landscape-level soil and hydrological research involving upland, riparian, and wetland soil carbon, mercury, and nutrient dynamics, and relates these studies to upland land use and pollution transport to surface waters. He investigates ecosystem restoration and the linkages between upland and riparian or wetland communities and studies the functions and implications of global climate change.

Organization: Northern Research Station, USFS (Grand Rapids, MN)
