Dear Colleagues,
You are warmly invited to attend the inaugural webinar of “Mathematics of Mass Extinctions - Ma(th)ssX”, a new research network by the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (Cambridge, UK):
Wednesday, March 27, 3pm GMT (4pm CET, 11am EDT, 8am PDT)
The talk will be given by Professor Georg Feulner (PIK, Potsdam, Germany): “Understanding Mass Extinction Events in Earth’s History – Relevance, Challenges, and Future Research”
Abstract: During the last 500 million years, the evolution of complex life on Earth has been frequently punctuated by geologically brief episodes of severe biodiversity loss. In my lecture, I will give a broad overview of these mass extinction events in Earth’s history, in particular focussing on the relevance of the research topic, potential causes of past extinctions, open questions, and potential directions of future research. I will argue that mathematical modelling is important for improving our understanding of extinction events – and particularly to link past extinctions to the current biodiversity crisis.
