Webinar: Climate and Desert Amphibian Physiology:  A Resource for Planning Adaptation Strategies
Presenter: Dr. Kerry Griffis-Kyle, Assistant Professor. Department of Natural Resources Management. Texas Tech University

About the presenter:
Dr. Griffis-Kyle is a wetland ecologist at Texas Tech University where she investigates patchily distributed resources and their associated wildlife populations and communities.  Her current work examines how stressors, including climate, affect the biodiversity associated with ephemeral waters in arid and semi-arid regions. She was recently funded to model functional connectivity of surface waters in the Sonoran Desert for T&E species, game species, invasives and other species of management interest. Dr. Griffis-Kyle earned her B.S. in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida, an M.S. in Forestry at Northern Arizona University, a Ph.D. in Biology at Syracuse University, and completed her training as a post-doctoral research fellow (USDA-NRI) at New Mexico State University.
