If you saw the Sunday NY Times article today, you’ve seen that a major study on the effects of climate change on North American bird populations is about to be released. National Audubon’s scientists have been working on this for a couple of years and it is a a study that uses a large number of long-established data collections in creating a GIS-based model that projects the areas, odds, and probabilities of survival of a large number of species. There are a number of major surprises in this study. Look for headlines in your paper and on the web in the next two weeks!

GIS = Geographic Information Systems. This is a technology that allows quantitative data (think bird count!) to be associated with a specific geographic spot or area and used in comparing, calculating or predicting locations, populations or changes in either…a wide-open field/tool for study of nature!
