There are a lot of great people working on winegrapes and climate change. Below is just a short list of some of those people, mainly those we have been lucky enough to collaborate with in the past, or hope to collaborate with in the future.
- Simone Castellarin is an Associate Professor in Land and Food Systems at UBC who studies the physiology of grape development, especially ripening.
