Climate and pre-industrial human impacts on marine ecosystems: crossing disciplinary boundaries
This meeting is organized by the Q-MARE (Disentangling climate and pre-industrial human impacts on marine ecosystems) working group. For more information on the working group, visit the Q-MARE web page here.
Logistics
Date and time: 17-19 January 2022, 15:00-18:00 CEST
Location: zoom
Aims
Climate and human activities altered marine ecosystems for thousands of years before industrialization, changing the composition, structure and dynamics of marine communities and the distribution, ecology and physiology of marine organisms. Marine ecosystems have proven robust to natural climatic perturbations, but are less resilient to anthropogenic impacts. Moreover, the timing, rate, and intensity of anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems before and after the industrial revolution varied across the world, increasing and confounding the effect of the shifting baselines syndrome. Q-MARE brings together scientists from different disciplines to combine results on past climate and human-induced changes on Quaternary marine ecosystems by combining paleontological, paleoclimatic, archaeological, and historical data.
