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.
