报告人：

Karin Bryan 新西兰怀卡托大学教授

报告人简介：

Professor Bryan researches estuarine processes, coastal morphodynamics, and climate-driven variability in waves, with a focus on New Zealand’s many diverse coastal systems. Her main interests lie in understanding the key drivers that control the evolution of estuaries in the next 50 years, and how those drivers play out in natural systems, where complexities such as mangroves and episodic runoff make it difficult to compare to idealized modelling. Her work is at a system-wide scale and lies at the interface between modelling, data science and field measurements, and lately, how to make better and easier use of remote sensing data. Prof Bryan is Dean of The School of Graduate Research and Acting Deputy Vice Chancellor Research at the University of Waikato. She is also Royal Society Te Apārangi Ngā Ahurei a Te Apārangi Fellow.

Conrad Pilditch 新西兰怀卡托大学教授

报告人简介：

Conrad Pilditch holds a PhD in Oceanography from Dalhousie University, Canada and is a Professor in Marine Science at the University of Waikato, New Zealand. His research interests focus on the structure and functioning of seafloor ecosystems and has worked extensively in the deep sea and coastal habitats. He is particularly interested in connecting the consequences of seafloor biodiversity loss to critical ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration and primary production. Most of his research is field-based and he enjoys carrying out manipulative experiments to test theory and demonstrate relevance in the real world. His most recent work has focused on how the chronic effects of sediments and nutrients entering estuaries have predisposed them to threshold changes in ecological state.  He also maintains a strong interest flow-biota interactions especially with respect to how the behaviour, density and diversity of fauna influence sediment stability and transport. For the past nine years Professor Pilditch has led the biophysical science research in a large (> 250 researchers) transdisciplinary research program ‘Sustainable Seas’ which aims to deliver a better way of managing New Zealand’s ocean through ecosystem based management. Involvement in this program has seen him engaging heavily with politicians, central and regional government to improve the uptake of science in ocean management decision making. Professor Pilditch has published more than 180 peer-reviewed journal articles, graduated approximately 60 MSc/PhD students and either led or been a key researcher on more than 70 external grants.
