Speaker: Jessica Hellmann Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Lead of the Climate Change Adaptation Program University of Notre Dame When: Thursday, May 30th, 2013 Time: 11am-12noon Where: TCS Building 240, room 1416 Title: "Adaptation For Nature: Ecological Impacts Of Climate Change and Possible Management Strategies“ Abstract: The last time that the climate was ~6 degrees C warmer than it is today, a relative of alligators lived at the North Pole and mesic forests thrived in the now-desert southwest. These observations tell us that climate matters a lot to where species live. A major challenge under modern climate change, therefore, is predicting where species and ecosystems will live in the future, when climate is much warmer but humans still seek to exploit and benefit from natural resources. This talk focuses on the limits to species' geographic range change under climate change, drawing upon comparative experimental and genomic research in two contrasting butterfly species that share a northern range boundary. Where species are unlikely to move in response to climate change, a number of possible management actions are possible to assist them in their climatic adjustment. One of these strategies is managed relocation, a controversial idea with ecological side effects that may be small in number but large in consequence. Methods of risk assessment for managed relocation and similar climate change adaptation strategies will be presented.

Dear Colleagues, The Mathematics and Computer Science division of Argonne National Laboratory will be organizing a full-day tutorial on "Parallel Programming with MPI". This day-long tutorial will take place in the Argonne campus (TCS Conference Center, Building 240, Rooms 1404 and 1405), on Monday, June 10th, from 09:00am till 05:00pm. The tutorial will cover introduction to MPI (in the morning) as well as advanced concepts in MPI, including parts of the new MPI-3 standard (in the afternoon). More details are available at the tutorial website. We would appreciate it if you would circulate this announcement to people who might be interested in attending this tutorial: advanced graduate students, postdocs, and early career computational scientists and engineers. The tutorial registration is free. If you have a valid Argonne badge, please RSVP to Mary Dzielski so we can plan for the appropriate attendance count. If you do not already have an Argonne badge, you need to apply for one at this link. All non-Argonne personnel, including U.S. citizens need to apply for a badge. Foreign nationals need to apply by May 31st (Friday) for the paperwork to be processed. Please visit the website for more information.
