Climate Change and the Amphibian Decline
Paul Clements
Dr. Clements is a professor of Political Science. He is also a director of the M.I.D.A program and the Graduate Certificate in Climate Change Policy and Management at Western Michigan University.
Cheyenne Lei
Dr. Cheyenne Lei is currently a Research Fellow within the Institute of Global Change Biology in the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on examining the differences in projected warming outcomes by integrating albedo and greenhouse feedbacks modeled from different landscapes. Cheyenne completed her Ph.D. in Geography at Michigan State University. The tower situated on the roof of the BCAMSC is part of Dr. Lei's research in analyzing how changes in weather and atmospheric fluxes can vary in different landscapes and alter climate change.

Bob Hollister
Professor Hollister leads the Arctic Ecology Program at Grand Valley State University, and teaches several courses in plant identification and environmental science. He started researching Arctic ecology in 1995 with Pat Webber at Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow) and Atqasuk, Alaska, which are some of the longest continually monitored studies on Arctic vegetation. On another front, Hollister has led several activities as the co-chair of the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX). He currently leads a collaborative multi-disciplinary research project funded by the National Science Foundation as part of the Arctic Observatory Network often referred to as ITEX-AON. Hollister has also researched Michigan wetlands, and often speaks to classrooms and communities about his work.
