SUMMARY:Great Smoky Mountains National Park Science Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Great Smoky Mountains National Park Science Colloquium\nLearn about research in the park\nThis free\, annual event highlights the research and conservation efforts being made in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Co-hosted by DLiA and GSMNP\, this event is an excellent opportunity for members of the public to learn about the incredible biodiversity of the Smokies\, to understand the fascinating research taking place there\, and to talk to scientists about their work in the region. This year\, DLiA will host a workshop from 3-4 PM where members of the public can learn how to become citizen scientists\, helping to gather valuable scientific data using a smartphone app. \nScientists consider the GSMNP to be one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in North America. In the midst of such species richness\, DLiA conducts an ongoing project to catalog all species that exist in the Park.  The All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) seeks to discover and understand the estimated 60\,000-80\,000 species living in the park.  The project continues to develop reports\, maps\, databases\, GIS tools\, and natural history profiles that describe the biology of this rich landscape. These tools enhance park management and provide information to a wide audience in an effort to promote science and conservation of biodiversity. \nREGISTER\n\n					\n						\n							\nEvent details\nGeneral information: The Park Science Colloquium comprises over a dozen talks by scientists about work being conducted in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the surrounding region. \nTiming: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Thursday\, March 7\, 2019 (colloquium from 9-3\, workshop from 3-4) \nLocation: The Park Vista Hotel in Gatlinburg\, TN (map) \nFood and drink: Coffee will be provided and there will be a one-hour lunch break \nColloquium schedule and abstracts: Available here (as PDF) \nWorkshop: This free\, one-hour workshop will show participants how they can help map the species of Great Smoky Mountains National Park using a free smartphone app. The workshop will be aimed toward a general audience\, children 10 and up are welcome\, and no experience is necessary. To participate\, all you’ll need is a web-connected smartphone\, the iNaturalist app\, and a sense of wonderment for the amazing biodiversity living in the Smokies! We encourage participants to download and install the iNaturalist app to their device before the workshop. More about Species SnapIt & MapIt here. \nRegistration information: Both the colloquium and workshop are free events\, but we do ask that you register for them via the button above. \nHave questions?
