DESCRIPTION:*Host* Prof. David Edwards\n\n*Abstract* The increasing availa
 bility of global gridded climate datasets derived from weather stations ha
 s advanced research on the links between organisms and climate. However\, 
 most organisms experience conditions that differ substantially from those 
 measured by weather stations. This seminar will cover the methods of predi
 cting microclimatic conditions that organisms experience and of ecological
  responses to climate change using a range of examples. Alongside this\, n
 ovel temperature regimes will be explored in regards to underneath the wor
 ld’s tropical forest canopies as species shift predictions may be wrong 
 if climate data used do not reflect microclimatic conditions. \n\n*Biograp
 hy* Ilya Maclean is Professor of Global Change Biology and Associate Direc
 tor of the University of Exeter’s Environment and Sustainability Institu
 te. He has worked on ecological responses to climate change since 2004. Mu
 ch of this time has been spent trying to figure out how to model the micro
 climatic conditions experienced by organisms and what this tells us.\n\n*P
 lease note the seminars are for University Of Cambridge members ONLY.*
