18: How Great Salt Lake Bird Migrations Are Changing

Zoe Exelbert studies birds at the Great Salt Lake. Specifically, she’s interested in how climate change and shifting weather patterns are affecting bird migrations and in turn, how this is impacting the overall ecosystem of Great Salt Lake. Exelbert is a Data Science and environmental studies undergraduate student here at the U.  She says understanding the ways these migratory birds are changing their behaviors could be indicative of how we as human are also changing -- and may continue to adapt -- in response to climate changes. https://wilkescenter.utah.edu/podcast/18-how-great-salt-lake-bird-migrations-are-changing/
