What top predators can tell us about ocean ecosystems
This event is over.
This year’s speaker will be Dr. Sara Iverson, Professor of Biology at Dalhousie University. Dr. Iverson is a physiological ecologist who uses an inter-disciplinary approach involving both field and biochemical research to understand how vertebrates adapt to their environment and to inform conservation and management decisions. She is especially interested in lipid metabolism and lactation in mammals, and has studied a wide range of animals, including seals, polar bears, seabirds, fish and sharks. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society, winner of the NSERC EWR Steacie Memorial Scholarship, and the Scientific Director of the Ocean Tracking Network. She was also recognized in 2019 as an “influential Canadian scientist and role model” for “Barbie’s You Can Be Anything” campaign that was sponsored by Mattel and National Geographic.
