[BNS_members] Monthly Meeting December 12th

[Caroline Beddoe]

Good afternoon,

A reminder of our upcoming monthly meeting before the holiday break, 
this Monday December 12 at 7:30 pm online on Zoom (no hybrid option at 
this time; 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.
