The effects of climate change on fish habitat will be scale-and system-dependent. Our work demonstrates how climate change affects fish habitat nationwide, and stream flow, water temperature, and coldwater lakes in the Upper Midwest. Projected changes in fish habitat varied across ecoregions nationally. The future regional climate will likely alter hydrologic and thermal regimes suitable to the fish species in that region. We were able to integrate these regional differences by using a consistent assessment framework to show habitat changes across regions for the conterminous U.S.

The competition for 2014-15 IIE Fulbrights opens on May 1 with a mid-October deadline. We are also anticipating a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Abroad competition to be announced in May or June with a short deadline (probably 30 days). This information session will be relevant to grad students planning an international component to their theses or dissertations. The IIE Fulbright may be used for master’s thesis research, pre-dissertation research or for dissertation research.

Chuck Leavell divides his time between rocking and growing -- as a musician who for 30 years has toured for the likes of The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, John Mayer and more on piano and keyboards.

Indigenous perspectives on rights are focused on responsibilities. Deborah McGregor will discuss this perspective in light of the U.N. declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples, values and research. She is informed on the "Idle No More" Movement in Canada. McGregor is Anishinabe from Whitefish River First Nation, Birch Island, Ontario. The primary aim of her research is to improve relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal parties. Her visit was prompted by a group of students’ visit to Toronto to attend a law symposium addressing rights of aboriginal people.
