Conferencia de Excelencia “Time for Evolution? Implementing evolutionary approaches for the investigation of the biological implications of the ocean change” 22 noviembre 2017
La conferencia de Excelencia tendrá lugar el Miércoles 22 de Noviembre a las 12:00h en el Salón de Grados 2 del CASEM.
Piero Calosi is Professor of Marine Biology at the University of Quebec in Rimouski (Canada). His research focus is the investigation of marine invertebrates’ physiological and life-history responses to multiple global environmental drivers (incl. warming, acidi cation, changes in salinity and de-oxygenation), and the determination of their scope for further adaptation.
In the past few years he has established himself as one the world’s leading scientist in the investigation of the ecophysiological responses of marine organisms under global changes. He has also promoted the investigation of Global Change Biology using and evolutionary perspective. As result, he was awarded with “CETL Plymouth University Sta Developmental Award”, “Ocean Acidi cation – Commonwealth Development Award” in 2010 and “Ocean Acidi cation in Benthic Communities – Commonwealth Award” in 2012.
