Description
Hello Everyone,
We are delighted to invite you to our next event with Dr Jennifer Marohasy presenting.
The event is scheduled for Saturday 2nd of December at 1.30pm at North Shore Community Center, 701 David Low way, Mudjimba.
Guest Speaker:
Dr Jennifer Marohasy
Dr Jennifer Marohasy has a Bachelor of Science and a PhD from the University of Queensland. She has worked at universities, run a research station in Madagascar, implemented an environmental audit for the Queensland sugar industry, and is currently a Senior Fellow at the Melbourne-based think-tank, the Institute of Public Affairs. She spends most of her time in Queensland – between Noosa, Yeppoon and at the Great Barrier Reef.
Dr Marohasy has been published in international climate science journals including Atmospheric Research and Advances in Atmospheric Research and edited two books on climate change. More recently she has made documentaries about the Great Barrier Reef, sea level change and climate change. Her very first film about the corals in Bowen Harbour, Beige Reef in 2019, was hugely successful on Facebook, albeit for a few weeks.
In her talk to the Sunshine Coast community on Saturday 2nd December she plans to outline a process for reconciling with nature – this could begin with Western civilisation quitting the hubris and acknowledging that the 36 centimetres of sea-level rise since the industrial revolution is insignificant considering the 120 metres of sea-level rise since the last ice age.
She will begin her presentation with a short film about sea level rise in Noosa National Park, entitled Washed away.
There will be a Q & A session after her presentations.
