Webinars

The Conservation Paleobiology Research Coordination Network (CPN) will design and develop a series of online webinars focused on training future conservation paleobiologists, archaeologists, practitioners, and stakeholders to navigate the continuum from basic to applied research. The webinars will be developed to bring faculty to the students and facilitate interaction of students, faculty, and professionals across multiple institutions via virtual platforms. Webinars will include active learning modules in addition to case studies on the fundamentals of conservation paleobiology.  Presentations will be designed to be viewed over the course of an academic term, and will be developed by faculty from multiple institutions and practitioners from non-academic organizations.  The webinars will be freely available to educators, students, stakeholders, and the public.

If you are interested in being involved, or have a topic you would like to see covered in the webinar series, please let us know! There are many ways to become involved. You can become a member of the CPN and indicate your interest in contributing to the webinar effort.  You are also welcome to email the network directly with your suggestions.
