[CRYOLIST] Landscapes Live Seminar (2 March): Maya Stokes (Florida State U)


Dear All,
Landscapes Live is pleased to announce the next Landscapes Live online seminar with Dr. Maya Stokes (Florida State University) this Thursday, March 2nd at 16:00 CET (Amsterdam/Berlin/Paris).
Geologic mechanisms of freshwater fish speciation in the southeast United States
The high biodiversity of mountain ranges across Earth suggests a link between geologic processes and biological evolution. Topographic uplift has been linked to the diversification of both terrestrial and freshwater species in many tectonically active landscapes. However, tectonically inactive mountain ranges also host exceptional levels of freshwater biodiversity. In this talk, I discuss how the erosional exhumation of ancient geologic structures has influenced landscape dynamics and driven the diversification of freshwater fish in the Appalachian Mountains. As rivers erode through layers of different kinds of rock, the spatial distribution of rocks at the surface of the landscape changes. Thus, for fish with habitat specificity linked to rock type, erosion can progressively expose either favorable or unfavorable rock types, creating either barriers or corridors. I utilize geologic and phylogenetic datasets to test these scenarios in darter species endemic to the southeast United States. The results demonstrate how erosion can drive the diversification of freshwater organisms in ancient mountain ranges long after tectonic activity ceases.
The seminar will be live on Zoom and open to anyone interested (limit of 500 participants). Register in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrdeuvrTspHtz81lfV6p5E2PSvI0FedUMeAfter registering, you should receive a confirmation email containing the information you need to join the meeting.

Dear Colleagues,

The Fifth Space for Hydrology Workshop will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from Monday 27 November to Friday 1 December 2023.

The European Space Agency, in the context of the "Earth Observations Science for Society" Programme, and CNES are organising a sequel joint event to Hydrospace2021 and EO4Water2020, called 5th Space for Hydrology Workshop. This time around the Hydrospace Workshop is organised in collaboration with GEWEX (and other sponsors to be confirmed), seeking opportunities to explore joint solutions with a broader view on key science questions for Research and Development, up to Operational use of remote sensing information. The aim of getting together during 5 days in a brainstorming workshop-style is to strengthen the collaboration between the four critical water communities: in situ, modelling and space observation scientists as well as "non-scientific" users such as water managers to address the needs of the application community.

Please SAVE-THE-DATE!

Soon you will be invited to submit your abstract(s) for an oral or a poster presentation.
The deadline for submitting your abstract(s) will be 3 September 2023.  (Mark that date too!)


No participation fees will be charged. Participants are expected to finance their own travel and accommodation expenses. The working language of the workshop is English.
