For the lecture, “A Clam’s-Eye View of Climate Change: How Do Intertidal Organisms Experience Their Shifting World?” the discussion will be about the impact of global climate change on ocean ecosystems.

Using a unique combination of computer modeling, field instrumentation, and virtual reality technology, Dr. Brian Helmuth will give a worldwide tour of how climate change is affecting coastal ecosystems and animals.

He will explore how many of the most significant effects of global climate change can only be predicted when humans step outside their biased perceptions of how weather and climate affect natural ecosystems.

His results suggest that while many coastal ecosystems may be much closer to collapse than initially expected, in some cases, climate change can lead to positive responses at some locations.

Discerning among these possibilities is crucial, he believes, to find novel ways of adapting to a warmer planet.
