This Thursday 3/21 in Hilo Dr James Juvik will discuss the changes on Mauna Kea over the last 50-60 years due to climate change:
The Only Way Is Up
In 1958 the noted Pacific Island botanist Raymond Fosberg recorded the upper altitudinal limits of various native plants growing along the access road to the Maunaloa observatory at the 11,000 ft elevation level. Dr. James Juvik and his team resurveyed the plants again after 50 years (2008) and 60 years (2018).
