Gila Native Plant Society Program: Presentation on alpine flora by Dr. Hannah Marx
Friday, May 19, 2023, 07:00pm - 08:30pm |
As the snow melts on New Mexico’s highest peaks, alpine wildflowers begin to emerge. For its May program the Gila Native Plant Society will sponsor a presentation on alpine flora by Dr. Hannah Marx, Assistant Professor and Herbarium Curator of the University of New Mexico. GNPS is pleased to report that Dr. Marx has agreed to come to Silver City to present in person. In her talk she will discuss the evolution and ecology of alpine plant communities and the effects of climate change on alpine systems. At UNM her lab uses fieldwork and bioinformatic approaches to understanding how plant diversity changes over space and time, particularly in alpine ecosystems, and Dr. Marx will share progress on her research program.
The program will be presented live at Harlan Hall on the WNMU Campus in Room 111 on Friday, May 19, at 7:00 pm, as well as via Zoom for those who prefer to attend online. As always, the public is welcome. Anyone interested in joining in the Zoom presentation may request a link from gilanative@gmail.com
