  Investigating Maple Dieback and Decline in Michigan\nSpeaker: Tara Ba
 l, Research Assistant Professor and Master of Forestry Degree Program 
 Director, School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science, Michig
 an Technological University\nIn recent years, severe sugar maple crown
  dieback had been noted across the Upper Great Lakes Region, with the 
 assumption being that it was caused by poor management or a series of 
 climate related stress factors.  In her research, Dr. Bal has shown t
 hat the poor health conditions in some areas are likely a combination 
 decline factors, some of which were fairly unexpected!  Findings like
  this push managers to “think outside the box” when it comes to tr
 aditional silvicultural prescriptions for maple.\nTara L. Bal, PhD, CF
 , is a Research Assistant Professor in the School of Forest Resources 
 and Environmental Science at Michigan Technological University.  Her 
 research focuses on forest health and its biotic and abiotic influenci
 ng factors and aims to provide scientific foundation for education, ma
 nagement policies, and understanding the ecological response to change
 s in forest health conditions. _______________________________________

 spen Ecology and Management\nSpeaker: Kevin Krasnow, Research Faculty,
  Teton Science School\nIn recent years, fundamental assumptions concer
 ning aspen clonal age, regeneration, and genetic diversity have been c
 hallenged, and these findings have important implications for manageme
 nt and persistence of aspen in USA western forests.  In his presentat
 ion, Dr. Krasnow will discuss evolving paradigms of aspen ecology and 
 the associated challenges and opportunities for this species in the co
 ming century, with a focus on his research on the impacts of fire seve
 rity and stand condition on aspen regeneration.\nKevin Krasnow Ph.D., 
 research and graduate faculty with the Teton Science Schools, is a dis
 turbance ecologist interested in understanding how and why ecosystems 
 change and identifying opportunities for increasing ecosystem resilien
 ce. His research focuses on fire history, aspen ecology and restoratio
 n, forest and fire management, and effective science education.\n\nWan
