Dear colleagues,
Our
session aims to highlight research using historical archives (broadly
defined, but some examples are museum collections, isotopes, ancient
DNA, oral histories, etc.) to study ecological and oceanographic
processes across the full biological spectrum over decadal to millennial
scales within the Holocene. Specifically, we invite researchers and
studies that are exploring the past to better understand the future of
ecosystems worldwide. Studies that include any aspect of marine mammal
biology, including but not limited to, marine mammal behavior (broadly
defined), their habitats, or their ecological roles, are encouraged to
submit an abstract.
We are committed to amplifying diverse
voices, practices, and lived experiences to develop a more just,
equitable, diverse, and inclusive field. To achieve this, we hope that you will share this announcement widely within your network.
Abstract
submissions are due September 13, 2023. Please feel free to reach out
with any questions, and thank you for your consideration!
Cheers!
Jonathan Cybulski, Kerri Smith, Matthew Ramirez, and Kelton McMahon
