The Royal Society of Tasmania, in association with marine research group Beer Aquatic, invites you to an entertaining lecture by Dr Julie McInnes, on the lifestyles of Southern Ocean seabirds on Macquarie Island. Dr McInnes is an ecologist who specializes in subantarctic ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on seabirds and their diets.
Join us at the Hobart Brewing Company, at 16 Evans Street, Hobart on Thursday 25th August 2022, 6.30pm. No prior registration is required to attend, however as seating is limited, early arrival is recommended.
Dr Julie McInnes is the first female recipient of the esteemed RJL Hawke Postdoctoral Fellowship, awarded by the Australian Antarctic Division.
At Beer Aquatic, she will share her latest insights into the ecology of Southern Ocean seabirds – with a focus on work done on Macquarie Island – and talk about the innovative methods she uses to untangle the complicated food webs around these top-level predators. Julie has worked extensively on the ecology of Southern Ocean seabirds and mammals, with a focus on applied research to create better conservation and management outcomes.
The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
