Please join us for Dr. Patrick Lenz's talk "Combining wood anatomy, dendroecology and genomics to improve the adaptive potential of reforestation seedlings".

Patrick Lenz is a research scientist in forest genetics at the Canadian Wood Fibre Centre of Natural Resources Canada. His current research focuses on the development of genomic tree breeding tools to speed up the selection of planting stock with improved growth, wood quality, and resilience in the context of climate change. Some of his top priorities include the research on resistance traits to climate anomalies to better understand their role in adaptation and breeding opportunities. 

Presentation will be by Zoom at https://lakeheadu.zoom.us/j/97532903824. The session will also be streamed in Braun Building room BB1054.
