Townsend\nProfessor of Oceanography\nUMaine School of Marine Sciences\nHost: Emmanuel Boss \nThis talk will begin as a general overview of how the Gulf of Maine works in an oceanographic sense. But at the outset\, I will show examples of some observations and ideas that have popped up in recent years which suggest the oceanography of the Gulf may be changing\, and/or undergoing highly variable shifts in its properties ─ changes that are forcing us to rethink some of our most basic ideas about the workings of the Gulf. First described by Henry Bryant Bigelow a century ago\, we all are generally aware\, or have been told\, that the Gulf is biologically productive ─ and it is\, owing to the combined effects of features and processes that are fairly unique to the Gulf of Maine. In the simplest sense\, the Gulf can be viewed as a shallow (average depth ca. 150m) semi-enclosed\, continental shelf sea\, which forms a cul-de-sac along the coastline of eastern North America. More importantly\, the Gulf is situated adjacent to a confluence of major ocean currents just offshore: where cold waters from the north meet warm waters from the south. The Gulf’s interior waters\, however\, are partially isolated from free exchanges with those offshore waters by shallow banks along the Gulf’s shelf edge. Nonetheless\, the Gulf of Maine is a dynamic flow-through system driven by variable influxes oft hose different water masses from outside the Gulf ─ water masses that provide both salt and fresh water\, nutrients\, and which influence the Gulf’s heat budget. Once in the Gulf\, those imported water masses are diluted some by rivers (although the main supply of fresh water is from outside the Gulf)\, and are vertically mixed: They are mixed year round by the Gulf’s large tides (in some areas)\, and everywhere by winter convection\, which bring nutrient-rich waters into sunlit surface layers\, this stimulating biological production. It is principally the resulting density contrasts of its different water masses that drive the Gulf’s complex residual circulation. Woven into this rough sketch of the Gulf of Maine will be ideas based on some of my own research interests\, including: Ideas about the causes of redtides; Why they and other oceanographic features may be changing\, and/or varying significantly among years; Some ideas about why the Gulf may be warming at such an alarming rate\, and; Why we need to pay closer attention to ocean acidification. \n  URL:https://elh.umaine.edu/event/oceanography-gulf-maine-variability-relationships-among-water-masses-red-tides-nutrients-acidification/ LOCATION:354 Aubert Hall\, 354 Aubert Hall\, Orono\, ME\, United States CATEGORIES:Darling Marine Center,Lectures & Seminars,School of Marine Sciences GEO:44.9012912;-68.6707296 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=354 Aubert Hall 354 Aubert Hall Orono ME United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=354 Aubert Hall:geo:-68.6707296,44.9012912 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170224T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170224T160000 DTSTAMP:20260421T152107 CREATED:20170203T212435Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170223T203823Z UID:10002655-1487948400-1487952000@elh.umaine.edu SUMMARY:Fossil lizards tell tales: Resurrecting the past to forecast the future DESCRIPTION:School of Biology and Ecology Seminar\nSpring 2017 \npresents \nDr. Melissa Kemp\, Harvard University \n(Host: Allison Gardner) \nFossil lizards tell tales: Resurrecting the past to forecast the future \nDr Melissa Kemp is an evolutionary biologist who uses the fossil record and historical data to investigate species responses to global change phenomena. She earned her B.A. in biology from Williams College in 2010 and her Ph.D. in biology from Stanford University in 2015. She is currently a Center for the Environment and NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University\, where she is investigating how past global change forces have altered species distributions and abundances for Caribbean lizards. This research will reveal population trajectories before\, during\, and after environmental perturbations are encountered\, and provide a framework for evaluating future range shifts and population fluctuations.  Melissa is also committed to science mentoring and regularly involves high school and undergraduate students in the execution of her research objectives. \nSeminars will be held on Fridays at 3:15 pm in 107 Norman Smith Hall\, unless otherwise noted. \nLight refreshments served at 3:00 p.m. URL:https://elh.umaine.edu/event/school-biology-ecology-seminar-dr-melissa-kemp-harvard-university/ LOCATION:107 Norman Smith Hall\, orono\, ME\, United States CATEGORIES:Lectures & Seminars,School of Biology and Ecology ORGANIZER;CN="School of Biology and Ecology":MAILTO:teresa.costello@umit.maine.edu GEO:44.8831125;-68.6719411 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170225 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170226 DTSTAMP:20260421T152107 CREATED:20170208T211220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170208T211220Z UID:10000143-1487980800-1488067199@elh.umaine.edu SUMMARY:Go Blue Friday DESCRIPTION:The following days have been designated as UMaine’s Go Blue Fridays\, a chance to show your UMaine spirit and campus pride by wearing blue and/or UMaine clothing: Feb. 10 and 24; March 24; April 7 and 14; and May 12.

My research lies at the intersections of comparative physiology\, ecology and evolutionary biology\, and the synergies between these disciplines. Through field and laboratory based experiments\, I seek to understand how rigidity or flexibility in metabolism and body temperature regulation affects the energetics of a species\, and how their evolutionary history has shaped these patterns. The data obtained through studying thermoregulation and energetics can have multiple applications. By understanding the dynamics of the relationship between an animal and its thermal environment\, we can better predict energy budgets and responses to changes in climate and resource availability. As such\, physiological data are vital for the development of realistic\, predictive\, models assessing the vulnerability of species to climate change; a large part of the newly emerging field of conservation physiology. Using small mammals as model organisms\, my research at the University of Maine seeks to address gaps in our fundamental understanding of mammalian energetics using a combination of laboratory and field-based projects aimed at elucidating the effects of activity\, humidity and high ambient temperature on the performance (and ultimately the distribution) of mammals.
