Talking circle – an opportunity to speak with Zulu fishers

ByCourtney Glancy

Hosted by Tero Mustonen

This talking circle will be an innovative and interactive exchange considering the multiple, simultaneous drivers of change regarding traditional Zulu fishermen of the Eastern seaboard of South Africa. New species are appearing, “old” species are changing their behavior, there is a lack of rights and recognition, and marine pollution. This is all in the context of post-Apartheid South Africa, and are some of the issues that the circle will address, chaired by IPCC Lead Author and Snowchange Fisherman Tero Mustonen, from Finland.

Modelling microclimates to predict species responses to climate change

ByCourtney Glancy

Miss Alexandra Gardner1, Dr Ilya Maclean1, Professor Kevin Gaston1 1Environment and Sustainability Institute, University Of Exeter, Penryn, United Kingdom Species distribution models (SDMs) have played a pivotal role in predicting how species move in response to climate change. To generate reliable and realistic predictions from these models requires the use of climate variables that adequately…
