Dear Café Scientifiquers,
Our next café will happen on Tuesday January 31st, 7:30PM at the Railway Club. The speaker for the evening will be Simon Donner, an Assistant Professor in the UBC Department of Geography who is interested in why the climate matters. His talk will be on:
Beyond Nemo: Coral reefs in a warming world
Coral reefs, often called the rainforests of the ocean, are thought to be more sensitive to climate change than any other ecosystem on the planet. Drawing on his research in the Central Equatorial Pacific nation of Kiribati, Simon Donner will talk about the effects of changes in climate and ocean chemistry on tropical corals and the potential for adaptation.
We hope to see you there!
