The Role of Mathematics in Physical Ecology

  • Date: 03/22/2007
Lecturer(s):

Josef Ackerman (University of Guelph)

Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

The natural link between mathematics and ecology is evident in the
field of physical ecology, which uses physical models to explore some
fundamental issues. These include how aquatic organisms use the
constraints imposed by physical environment to satisfy their biological
processes. This seminar will present examples of the physical ecology
approach to sexual reproduction and trophic dynamics in marine, lake
and river systems.
