THIS WEBINAR
Registration for all of the webinars has been greatly simplified and no
longer is through DOI Learn . This change in the registration process
applies to all participants including DOI employees. Please follow the
instructions below to request registration in this webinar. The new
registration process requires you to complete a very brief form providing
us with your name, affiliation, email address, and the date of the webinar
you are requesting. Once submitted, your name will be added to the
registry for the webinar. Approximately 2 days in advance of the webinar,

You will receive an email from Marilyn Williams, NCTC Training

The web conferences last about 1 to 1.5 hours including a
question-and-answer session. Topics are climate change and
wildlife-related and will include scientists from academia, government,
and private conservation organizations. The conferences are targeted at a
technical level equivalent to that of a graduate seminar and assume that
the participants already have some knowledge of and background with the
topic.
The web conferences use the Microsoft Live Meeting software program.
Conference advertisement and registration is through DOI LEARN. Each
conference. All conferences, including questions and answers, are recorded
