SUMMARY:SPE APAC Gaia Talk - Environmental Proxies: A Critical Feature of Tracing Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:This is an online SPE APAC Gaia Talk on the 22nd September\, 1pm Perth\, KL\, 10.30am India\n  \nRegister for Free:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_M__Bh5v0S0COtDhErYdk6w \n\nThe Talk\nChange is a constant feature of our environment. Climate change and its related processes\, such as glacial melting and the greening of the Arctic\, are deeply interconnected with ecosystems. These ecological relationships are highly sensitive to environmental shifts\, making them valuable indicators for measuring the impact of climate change. \nFrom the Arctic to the tropics\, climate change has altered vegetation structures\, and tracking these changes helps us understand the direction and effects of global warming on ecosystems. In this scientific journey\, modelling and time-series analysis play a crucial role in predicting ecosystem dynamics. While models can be highly effective\, they also have limitations in capturing the full complexity of environmental change. Recognizing these gaps is essential\, as it allows us to refine our methods and make better-informed decisions. Understanding environmental indicators and piecing together their stories helps us adapt and respond wisely to ongoing changes. \nIn this session\, Dr Rohan Shetti will share insights from data collection and measurements that help track and interpret climate change. \nThe Speaker\nDr. Rohan Shetti is a climate scientist and entrepreneur leading a research group in Berlin and Pune\, focusing on climate change and environmental proxies. His work spans from the Arctic and temperate ecosystems to tropical forests in the Western Ghats\, with a core expertise in Landscape Ecology and Ecosystem Dynamics. \nThroughout his career\, Dr Shetti has consulted on multiple projects for the European Federation and has published in leading journals such as Nature\, Nature Communications\, Global Change Biology\, and Environmental Pollution. His PhD students\, conduct research on environmental proxies responding to global change. His team has also contributed data to the IPCC for climate forecasting. \nBeyond research\, Dr Shetti founded the Environmental Analytics course\, training students and young researchers. \n
