Description
Join us at Valles Caldera National Preserve's Ranger Station on Thursday, October 10, at 11:00 am for a presentation by Dr. Bob Parmenter about Valles Caldera's significance as a living laboratory for scientific discovery.
Dr. Bob Parmenter recently retired from a 21-year career of scientific inquiry and resource stewardship at Valles Caldera National Preserve. Over his tenure at Valles Caldera, he served as Chief Scientist and Chief of Science and Resource Stewardship. He established a premier research and restoration program in partnership with 40 federal, tribal, state, academic, and non-profit organizations. Because of his passion for science in parks, Valles Caldera is in the top 4% of the entire National Park System for the number of partner-led research projects currently underway.
