Lecture explores changes among hunters, wildlife, habitat

Climate and landscape play a large part in successful large-game hunting across Alaska, and changes have challenged common hunting practices.

Todd Brinkman, a wildlife ecology professor with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Institute of Arctic Biology, will discuss those changes in deer, moose, caribou and whale hunting systems for the last installment of the 2015 Science for Alaska Lecture Series. It will be Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. in the Gold Room at the Westmark Fairbanks Hotel.

The lecture series is free and open to the public. This year, the Alaska Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research again joins the Geophysical Institute as a sponsor. The series, which began in the early 1990s, brings current scientific research to Alaskans.
