Date/time: 17-19 January 2022, 15:00-18:00 CET

Location: zoom

Organizer: Q-MARE working group of PAGES

Organizing committee: Konstantina Agiadi (University of Vienna, Austria), Bryony A. Caswell (University of Hull, UK), Paolo G. Albano (Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Naples, Italy), Martin Zuschin (University of Vienna, Austria)

Aims: Climate and human activities altered marine ecosystems for thousands of years before industrialization, changing the composition, structure and dynamics of marine communities and the distribution, ecology and physiology of marine organisms. Marine ecosystems have proven robust to natural climatic perturbations, but are less resilient to anthropogenic impacts. Moreover, the timing, rate, and intensity of anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems before and after the industrial revolution varied across the world, increasing and confounding the effect of the shifting baselines syndrome. Q-MARE brings together scientists from different disciplines to combine results on past climate and human-induced changes on Quaternary marine ecosystems by combining paleontological, paleoclimatic, archaeological, and historical data.
