July 29, 7:30pm, Rock Rabbits: The Life Of The Pika
Chris Ray, Ph.D., is a researcher at the University of Colorado, studying threatened plants and animals. The author of many scientific papers, her role in most research collaborations is primarily analytical, focused on modeling other people’s data. However, she has conducted her own long-term research on the American pika, a “rock rabbit” that inhabits natural rock-piles and often colonizes the tailings of hard-rock mining operations. Her analyses have demonstrated that the pika’s recent decline in some locations can be explained by climate, and her models suggest that climate change will soon affect pikas everywhere, unless…the microclimate within a rock-pile can shelter pikas from changing atmospheric conditions.
