Ecology Center Seminar: Dr. Scott Wing
Dr. Scott Wing studies fossil plants and climate change during the last part of the Age of Dinosaurs and the first part of the Age of Mammals at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. He is particularly interested in the evolutionary radiation and ecological expansion of flowering plants, and in the globally warm climate of this time.
One of his main interests is an event called the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), which provides the closest analog in earth history to the Anthropocene, the current epoch of human-induced global warming and global ecological change.
