MOVERS AND SHAKERS CONTRIBUTE TO MARINE DIVERSITY

by: Colin Townsend

Plants and animals are travelling long distances and benefitting from big geological disturbances.

The Wanaka Branch of the Royal Society brings leading thinkers, highly regarded in their field of knowledge and expertise, to talk about their work. Each year, ten eminent national speakers are included in the programme.

Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, landslides - large physical changes to the Earth - are often seen as destructive, but they can also open exciting opportunities for biological change. When one population is wiped out, another will take its place. This talk will look at how plants and animals respond to large-scale dynamic changes in the environment, and how long-distance dispersal is critical for them to be able to grab new opportunities. Ceridwen Fraser’s research focuses on the dynamics of southern marine and polar ecosystems. Her research combines

genetics and ecology with earth sciences (such as oceanography and geology) to understand the processes that influence biodiversity. Ceridwen’s teams has helped reveal how plants and animals respond to large disturbances and have important implications for management of biodiversity into the future, particularly in the face of rapid climate change. The impact of Ceridwen’s work has been recognised by several national and international awards and fellowships, including ACT Scientist of the Year, the Australian Academy of Science Fenner Medal, and a Rutherford Discovery Fellowship.

Come on a journey, at 6.00pm on Friday, 25 April to the Presbyterian Community Centre, 94 Tenby Street, with ticks travelling on penguins, bugs and seaweed rafting to Antarctica, and tiny critters weathering ice ages in volcanic caves beneath the Antarctic ice sheet.

MY COMMUNITY NEWS

How Can Al-Anon Help Me?

Our personal situations may be di erent, but we share as equals because of what we have in common: our lives have been a ected by another person’s drinking. Al-Anon is a mutual support group. We can nd understanding and support when we share our common experience with each other. Some of us are here because a spouse or partner has struggled with alcoholism.

For others, the problem drinker is a parent, child, or grandchild. Sometimes a brother, a sister, or some other friend or relative brings us to Al-Anon.

Many of us have had more than one alcoholic family member or friend.

Alcoholism has similar e ects on us all, even though our relationships to the alcoholic may be di erent. Many newcomers are most interested in hearing about situations and relationships that are similar to their own. Over time, however, we come to understand that we can bene t from hearing how the Al-Anon principles worked in many di erent circumstances.

Weekly meetings are held on Tuesday evenings at 7.00pm, at the Holy Family Catholic Church on Aubrey Road.

All welcome. For more information visit www.al-anon.org.nz
