SUMMARY:California's Vegetation Communities Through Time
LOCATION:Los Altos Library\, 13 S. San Antonio Road\, Los Altos
DESCRIPTION:California's iconic landscapes and vegetation communities have long been sh
 aped by dynamic climate and terrestrial processes. Often, changes in these 
 forces are what can push an ecosystem to transition to a different, yet sta
 ble, state. In this talk, Dr. Katie Glover will draw upon her research in p
 aleoecology that used California's fossil record from lake cores and the La
  Brea Tar Pits to show how ecosystems shifted in response to climate change
  and fire during the last Ice Age. The tools and botanical evidence used in
  these studies are powerful to help us understand landscape response before
  human-induced impacts, and to inform the changes we can expect in a warmer
  world. Yet one doesn't have to be a trained paleoecologist to imagine – an
 d teach about – past worlds. We live in a time and place with rich educatio
 nal resources and access to natural spaces, which can help teach the next g
 eneration how to spot the evidence for ecosystem transitions.\nDr. Katie Gl
 over has a lifelong love for lakes and landscapes, which led to many years 
 teaching environmental science curriculum, and researching Ice Age landscap
 e change in North America. During her Ph.D. in Geography at UCLA, she devel
 oped a 120,000-year environmental history from lake sediment cores in the S
 an Bernardino Mountains and worked with the La Brea Tar Pits fossil plant c
 ollection. Katie is the Associate Director of Environmental Education at Ja
 sper Ridge Biological Preserve (‘Ootchamin ‘Ooyakma), and is grateful that 
 she can highlight the beauty and complexity of California's native ecosyste
 ms every day to students, docents, colleagues, and visitors.\n
