The Ecology of Surprise: Ecology and Environmental Ethics in an Old Growth Forest

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Michael Paul Nelson, professor of environmental philosophy and ethics at Oregon State University, for a discussion of the Long Term Ecological Research program that he leads at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. Dr. Nelson will share surprising scientific discoveries, and present a new way to see science, or some science, as a novel way into ethics.
