However, for the last three hundred million years, there have been periods where trees and forests have grown at latitudes far beyond any tree on Earth today. How did they cope? In this talk, Jonathan will discuss recent and ongoing research on fossil forests from near the poles—including Svalbard, the Falkland Islands, and Antarctica—and what they tell us about plant evolution and past environments.Jonathan Paul Wilson is a paleobotanist and the Edward Drinker Cope Professor of Environmental Biology at Haverford College. He uses mathematical models to study the biophysical properties of extinct plants and employs these values in paleoclimatic and paleoecosystem simulations.
