The Philadelphia Inquirer taps into research conducted by Biology PhD student Zoe Panchen for an article on climate change

In a recent article on how spring seems to be coming earlier each year, the Philadelphia Inquirer looked to research conducted by Zoe Panchen, currently a Carleton PhD student in Biology. As a Master's student at the University of Delaware, Panchen examined the impact of climate change on flowering times of plants in the Philadelphia area. Her research was published in the American Journal of Botany in 2012. Panchen, now in the second year of her PhD studies, is spending the summer in the Arctic researching how Arctic plants are responding to climate change, specifically monitoring Arctic plant phenology and in particular their flowering and fruiting times.
