UCSB Natural Reserve System Fall 2021 Seminar Series

Starting October 5, 2021 – every Tuesday at 7 PM: Join us for Scientific Discoveries and Learning at UC Santa Barbara’s Seven Spectacular Natural Reserves

Please join us this fall for a series of presentations focused on some of the latest research and teaching experiences from across UCSB’s seven Natural Reserve System sites. UCSB’s Reserves are part of the 41-site University of California Natural Reserve System, one of the largest and most unique networks of protected lands in the world, supporting the university mission of research, university-level education and public service. UCSB operates 7 of these Reserves in unique ecosystems ranging from coastal (Coal Oil Point Reserve, Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve, Santa Cruz Island Reserve and K.S.N. Rancho Marino Reserve(link is external)) to inland valleys (Sedgwick Reserve) to Great Basin (Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory; SNARL) and montane forest (Valentine Reserve).

Each week will include an introduction to the Reserve site provided by the Reserve Director, followed by an engaging presentation by one of the Reserve’s expert scientists or educators focused on the highlights of their research or teaching activities at Reserves.

Seminars will be held each Tuesday, from October 5 – November 16, from 7 – 8 PM, in this virtual tour of research and education highlights from across the state.

Registration opens September 20. You can register for all 7 seminars at once, or pick the ones you prefer. Follow this link to register!
