A MEETING OF MASTERMINDS

Have humans wrecked our coasts?

presented by Dr. Heike Lotze, Canada Research Chair in Marine
Renewable Resources and professor of Biology

Friday, February 2, 10:30 a.m., Scotiabank Auditorium, McCain Building, 
University Avenue, Dalhousie University

Estuaries and coastal seas are hotspots of diversity and productivity that 
have attracted people for settlement and resource use since earliest times. 
Thus, human influences on the near-shore ocean are as old as civilization 
yet have dramatically accelerated over the past 150-300 years. Dr. Lotze 
will acquaint us with the history of human-induced changes in 12 estuaries 
and coastal seas in Europe, North America and Australia using 
palaeontological, archaeological, historical, fisheries, and ecological 
data to reconstruct changes in marine mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, 
invertebrates, seafloor habitats, and water quality through time.

Dr. Lotze is a marine biologist with a strong interest in the human impact 
on marine species and ocean ecosystems. Her research tries to reconstruct 
the history of human-induced changes in coastal seas, to disentangle the 
cumulative effects of multiple human activities, and to analyze the 
consequences of changes on the structure and functioning of ecosystems.

Dr. Lotze has received her PhD in biological oceanography from Kiel 
University in Germany and came to Dalhousie in 1999 as a post-doctoral 
fellow. She was awarded the Canada Research Chair in Marine Renewable 
Resources in 2006.
