This Virtual SPARKS event will connect researchers who are interested in questions related to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The goal is to identify potential collaborators, both at UT and at the National Park, and share information about ongoing research initiatives and resources. Feel free to share this registration page with others who might be interested.

We will share some ongoing research and potential research related to the Smoky Mountains natural sciences via several lightning talks. Once we get closer to Sept. 10, registrants will be contacted with details, including a Zoom link.
