“Rooted in Research” is the Northern Research Station’s science delivery platform. Through webinars, science briefs and more, Rooted in Research strives to deliver science in support of natural resource management and decision-making. After taking a break in hosting webinars this past summer, we are excited to launch a new Rooted in Research webinar mini-series. Starting Oct. 10, Rooted in Research will host, “Understanding What’s Underground,” an 8-part mini-series showcasing the diverse research that Northern Research Station scientists are conducting on soil and belowground ecology.

Rooted in Research webinars will be one hour long and take place on most Tuesdays and Thursdays from Oct. 10 – Nov. 9. Webinars start at 11:00 AM EDT and consist one of presentation, followed by Q&A and discussion to give participants time to connect with researchers.
