WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Pamela Hallock Muller will deliver a public lecture on "Coral Reefs in the 21st Century: Is the Past the Key to the Future?" The talk is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 1, at 7:30 p.m. in Wege Auditorium in The Science Center on the Williams College campus.
Coral reefs worldwide are under threat in this age of global warming and increased pollution. Reef health is the focus of Muller's research.
A professor of biogeological oceanography at the University of South Florida, she studies both the ancient geologic record and modern environments, using observations from both to investigate the present and future effects of human activities on coral reefs.
She has participated in the Ocean Drilling Program, and her work is funded by the National Center for Environmental Research and the National Undersea Research Program, among others.
She is author of many scientific papers, and a recipient of the Association for Women Geoscientists Outstanding Educator Award.
This talk is sponsored by the Geosciences Department as part of the Five College-University Geology Lectures Series in conjunction with the Sperry Lecture Series.
