--=====================_1307479437==_.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Hi there, The following lecture may be of interest to some. Cheers, Patricia L. Chalmers Halifax 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.
