Event details
Please join the Geological Society, in partnership with the University of Birmingham, for this instalment in the Climate Off the Rails series. This event will comprise a presentation titled "The impact of climate change on biodiversity through fossil insights" by Dr Shan Huang, followed by a structured discussion.
"We ecologists are particularly concerned about the global biodiversity crisis today which can only be mitigated based on a deep understanding of biodiversity dynamics in relation to changes in the environment. The fossil record provides a direct window to a long history of biodiversity dynamics in space and time, including pervasive extinction events, under a variety of environmental changes. We can thus use fossil insights to build a baseline expectation of biological responses to projected global changes.
In this talk, I will share some of my work that examines the fossil record and tries to provide insights for how biodiversity might change in the future. This general theme of my research is not taxon specific, although I will focus on two classic model systems where the frontline might be pushed the hardest: the terrestrial mammals and the marine bivalves. With some case studies, I hope to demonstrate the strength of interdisciplinary research and advocate for more integrative approaches to biodiversity research."
Speaker
Dr Shan Huang is an Assistant Professor in Palaeobiology
