Room 217-218 (VCC West Building)
Louisa Wood , United Nations Environment Program, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Dr Wood is Head of Marine Assessment and Decision Support, and contributor to global biodiversity assessments. In her talk she will focus on how habitat information, especially from the productive coastal and shelf areas can be used to inform modeling of fish and invertebrate populations. What are the predicted implications of climate change on habitats such as mangroves and coral reefs?
