Markes E. Johnson: To the Roof of Monserrat
Join Dr. Markes E. Johnson in celebration of the release of his latest contribution to scientific literature regarding the natural history of Mexico’s Sea of Cortés region. Gulf of California Coastal Ecology: Insights from Present and Patterns from the Past, co-authored with Johnson’s field partner, Jorge Ledesma-Vázquez, was published by Sunbelt Publications in January.
Johnson will take the opportunity to recount one of his most harrowing adventures in pursuit of scientific knowledge in a presentation titled, “To the Roof of Isla Monserrat: Climbing for Science in Baja California.” The talk will not only narrate the obstacles and sense of excitement surrounding the expedition but also impart important observations that tie into a greater understanding of the ecology and geology of the region.
