SUMMARY:Carolina Science Cafe | Wet\, Wild\, and Wonderful: North Carolina's Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our next installment of the Carolina Science Cafe\, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center’s free\, current science awareness program. For the September cafe\, we will welcome Kristie Gianopulos\, a Wetland Scientist with the North Carolina Department of Environment Quality Division of Water Resources. We are excited to explore the wonders of wetlands in North Carolina and what we can do to protect them.  \n\n\n\nDesigned for adults\, this program explores science topics making national and international headlines and offers the chance to meet the experts behind the headlines. The Carolina Science Cafe is hosted at Haw River Tab & Table in Carrboro on Tuesday\, September 3rd\, starting at 6:00 p.m. with light appetizers available for all attendees. \n\n\n\nLearn about North Carolina’s wetlands – what they are\, where they can be found\, why they are important\, who lives in them\, and how they form. Learn about the wetland types we have in North Carolina as well as some resources to find and explore a wetland near you.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nKristie Gianopulos was raised in western New York where she completed her Bachelor’s degree in Biology\, then moved to sunny Florida for her Master’s degree in Zoology\, where she then worked in environmental consulting for a dozen years.  \n\n\n\nHer north and south experience prepared her well for the next dozen years in North Carolina\, where she has been part of a small wetland research team in the NC Division of Water Resources\, funded on a project basis through competitive EPA grants. In her time outside of work\, she enjoys photography\, kayaking\, and reading travel books. \n\n\n\n\nNC Wetlands Homepage\n\n\n\nGuide to Common Wetlands Plants of NC\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolina Science Cafe is produced by Morehead Planetarium and Science Center and sponsored by the UNC Chapter of Sigma Xi. \n\n\n\nYou do not need to register…just show up!
