Kris Hundertmark, associate professor of wildlife ecology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Institute of Arctic Biology, will present a free public web seminar on how climate change could affect Alaska's moose and caribou on Tuesday, May 20, at 10 a.m.

The seminar is part of a series sponsored by the UAF Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy.

Hundertmark will discuss factors involved in evaluating the impact of future climate change on moose and will present the results of a recent study that predicts changes in the genetic diversity of caribou relative to changing climate.
