Ecology & Evolution Series - October 2020 - Vinuri Silva | Sophie Dolling [Uni of Adelaide]

Описание: Our Series 4, Spring 2020, continues our focus on how University of Adelaide researchers are finding solutions to key problems in the fields of ecology and evolution.

Our Spring theme is environmental diversity.

PRESENTERS

Vinuri Silva
PhD candidate - School of Biological Sciences
Supervisor: Professor Bronwyn Gillanders

Plastic is one of the greatest threats our oceans are facing, with fish being predicted to be outweighed by plastic by 2050. Vinuri’s research focuses on the diverse yet unique group of marine microbes colonising marine plastic, also referred to as the 'Plastisphere'. She will present her initial PhD seminar titled, 'The hidden inhabitants of oceanic plastic'.

Sophie Dolling
PhD candidate - School of Biological Sciences
Supervisor: Professor Bronwyn Gillanders | Dr Mike Williams

Sophie is a multidisciplinary researcher intrigued by the effects of pollution on marine environments and the industries that rely on them. Sophie’s honours research in marine biology and chemistry identified chemical pollutants in fish species. She continues this important research through her PhD using analytical chemistry to answer ecological questions, like the potential for plastics to be a vector for chemical pollution, and to better understand the impacts of plastic pollution on our marine environments.
