Dr. Verena Tunnicliffe, University of Victoria
Exploring the Ocean Frontiers—We Have More to Learn
Tuesday, November 2, 2010, 7 pm, Asia Pacific Hall, Morris J Wosk
Centre for Dialogue, Simon Fraser University Vancouver
The human species is limited
by terrestrial adaptations and
dependence on a few senses to
understand its interactions with
the environment.
As part of the Canada Ocean
Lecture Series, this presentation
will explore some of the deep
places in our ocean to reveal
some unknown wonders. It
will use pictures and film clips
from expeditions to hot vents,
subsea volcanoes, and deep into
Canadian oceans to illustrate the
beauty and the extraordinary
dynamics of ecosystems that we
never see.
Verena Tunnicliffe is the
Director of the VENUS (Victoria
Experimental Network Under
the Sea) Subsea Observatory and
Professor and Canada Research
Chair in Deep Sea Oceans at
the University of Victoria. Her
research focuses on the ecology
and evolution of hot-vent animals
and marine community history.
Submersible missions have
predominated her fieldwork.
Respondents to the Lecture:
Dr. Paul Snelgrove, Memorial
University of Newfoundland and
Dr. John Nightingale, President and
CEO, Vancouver Aquarium Marine
Science Centre.
