SUMMARY:Permian Monsters Lecture Series: Rewiring the Biosphere
DESCRIPTION:Ecosystem Collapse and Recovery after the Permian Mass Extinction\nThe end Permian mass extinction was the largest recorded in the fossil record. Prior to it\, the land and oceans harbored ecosystems that had been relatively stable and developing for millions of years. This presentation will discuss the tremendous changes of biodiversity that took place\, how ecosystems collapsed and how new ones formed. \nThis lecture is recommended for ages 12 and older. \nTickets are $10/person\, per lecture. Add an exhibition ticket and receive $5 off admission to Life Before Dinosaurs: The Permian Monsters. Exhibition open from 5 to 7pm. Lecture begins at 7pm. \nBuy Tickets\nWith media support from WUNC\, North Carolina Public Radio. \n\n \nAbout our speaker\nDr. Peter D. Roopnarine\nCalifornia Academy of Sciences \nDr. Roopnarine is the Curator of Geology\, and he’s been at the California Academy of Sciences since 1999. He holds degrees in biology (BSc)\, oceanography (MS) and Geology (PhD). His research is transdisciplinary\, with a focus on understanding the evolution of ecological systems\, emphasizing paleontology\, deep time and perspectives on complexity dynamics. Most of his research these days centers around global change biology\, and how we can further develop our understanding of Earth’s past ecosystems to better forecast our future. \n \n\nABOUT THE LECTURE SERIES\nEnjoy a series of scientific talks on the diversity of the Permian period and factors that led to the mass extinction. Each month\, we will feature a presentation from a renowned scientist (7–8pm) and an evening viewing of the special exhibition\, Life Before Dinosaurs: The Permian Monsters (open 5–7pm). Other lecture dates: \nJuly 21: Pathologies of the Paleozoic\nDr. Megan Whitney\, Harvard University \nAugust 11: We Ate Dinosaurs: Getting to know our synapsid ancestors\nDr. Christian Kammerer\, NC Museum of Natural Sciences \n\n
