IOF SEMINAR – November 18, 2022

 

Portrait of the marine biodiversity in the Canadian Arctic

 

 

During this presentation, Dr. Archambault will discuss misconceptions that circulate about marine biodiversity in the Canadian Arctic. For example, the Arctic is seen as an area with low marine biodiversity, but is that the case in Canada? Furthermore, climate change affects sea ice cover, and Arctic marine life depends on this environmental condition, but will the seafloor organisms also be affected?

 
Dr. Philippe Archaumbault
Professor, Université Laval
Friday, November 18, 2022 – 11:00am  – 12 noon
Hybrid: In-person (TBC) and over Zoom
