From Costa Rica's cloud forests to Kentucky's microclimate!
Dr. Sybil Gotsch, an Associate Professor of Forest Ecology at the University of Kentucky, was recently featured in a PBS documentary for her research in Costa Rica.
Her work directly translates research programs right here in Kentucky, where she is trying to understand how the microclimate of the vast physiographic regions is changing the environment.
