UWM Spotlight on Excellence: Rainforest Research
Bags packed. Parkas? Forget them. Bug spray, bandanas and hiking boots? Check.
UWM students trade Milwaukee’s below-zero winter temperatures for 90 F and 90 percent humidity in the rainforests of Panama – trekking miles each day seeking answers to questions about global climate change.
A team of doctoral, master’s and undergraduate students meet up with Stefan Schnitzer, world-renowned UWM professor of ecology, at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in the middle of the Panama Canal. Together, they’re the only researchers on Earth aggressively studying how lianas (big, woody vines) choke the carbon out of tropical forests.
In this video, join the UWM team deep in the jungles of Panama. Not even howler monkeys, army ants or scorpions get in the way of this revolutionary research.
