[BNS_members] December Monthly Meeting

[Caroline Beddoe]

Good evening,

A fulsome December update landing in your inboxes shortly, but a quick 
note to say that our December meeting is fast approaching, given that it 
happens on the second Monday of the month instead of the usual third, to 
accommodate for the holiday season (as I try to type this, my cat is 
persistently removing ornaments from the tree...)

Thus, our December Monthly Meeting is Monday December 12 at 7:30 pm 
online on Zoom (no hybrid option at this time, given that our presenter 
while join from Zoom - we will resume in-person meetings in January). 
Our talk at the meeting this month will continue with the theme of a 
zoomed-out lens to natural history and life, with a focus on the Bay of 
Fundy. Presenter Jade Atkins will talk on Joggins Fossil Cliffs, A 
300-Million-Year-Old Story.

Dr. Jade Atkins will share what life was like in Nova Scotia during the 
Carboniferous with evidence from the Joggins Fossil Cliffs, a UNESCO 
World Heritage Site. She'll take us through 300 million years of 
history, from the wild forest fires and flooding of the Carboniferous, 
through the formation of the Bay of Fundy, to present day research 
occurring at the Joggins Fossil Centre.

Dr. Jade Atkins is the new Director/Curator of Palaeontology at the 
Joggins Fossil Institute in Joggins, Nova Scotia. Jade studies the 
evolution of development in the fossil record, using both fossils and 
living organisms to learn how amphibians and early amniotes changed and 
grew during their lifetimes.
