Join Professor Danielle Schreve for the first Winter Lecture of the new series and explore the Ice Age Mammals on Mendip.
During the last Ice Age, rapid climate and environmental change led to a major reorganisation of the fauna of northwestern Europe. Species were forced to move, adapt or face extinction.
For over fifteen years, Prof Schreve has been painstakingly excavating a new cave site in the Mendip Hills, which is yielding fascinating insights into how animals coped with these challenges.
Speaker: Prof Schreve holds the Heather Corrie Chair in Environmental Change in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol. Her research focuses on Ice Age mammals and encompasses many different aspects including evolution, extinction, palaeoecology and mammalian responses to climate change.
