FRIENDS of Lake Wendouree Natural Environment<\/a>\u2019s second annual lecture will be presented by palaeoecologist, Professor Peter Gell this afternoon via Zoom.<\/p>\n

FoLWNE\u2019s Judith Bailey<\/a> said the talk will surround the lakes of western Victoria, and their value in global long-term climate change knowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also represent important habitat for aquatic biota, and provide great service to local communities,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the climate dries, many lakes will become dry and so artificial lakes, and perennial streams such as the Yarrowee River, will become increasingly important.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to manage these for the appreciation of people, but also to maximise the role they may play as refuges for freshwater biodiversity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Gell is from Federation University\u2019s environmental science faculty. He assesses the changes in wetlands over time, and Ms Bailey said he\u2019s particularly focused on understanding of these ecosystems under the 1971 Ramsar Convention on Wetlands<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe specialises in the use of diatoms as indicators of present, and past, river and lake condition, particularly in coastal systems and across Australia’s Murray Darling Basin,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeter is a co-author on a paper which notes that light pollution is increasingly being regarded as an insidious stressor for freshwater biodiversity.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe also continues his interests in the use of birds as indicators of ecosystem health.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lecture will run from 4.30pm to 5.30pm today, Thursday, 27 August.
