SUMMARY:Emeritus Professor Patrick De Deckker ‘On the extraordinary expedition of Dumont d’Urville that discovered Antarctica in 1840’
DESCRIPTION:Patrick\, from the ANU\, will present many of the Dumont d’Urville’s expedition’s findings between 1837 and 1840\, from 6740 pages of text\, 481 plates of illustrations and 77 maps of Antarctica. He will also show slides of the surroundings of the French Antarctic station called Dumont d’Urville. \nBiography\nEmeritus Professor Patrick De Deckker is at the Research School of Earth Sciences\, The Australian National University. Patrick is also a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. \nOriginally from Belgium\, Patrick arrived in Australia about 50 years ago where he continued his university education in geology\, micro-palaeontology and zoology at several institutions. He has been at ANU since 1981 except for 2 years at Monash and has worked on salt lakes\, their biota and geological history\, plus on the evolution of the oceans in our region related to climate changes.  He has recently published a book “The Belgica expedition 1897-1899”. \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/DKZGI \nBooking\nLunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development and we thank all those who have donated. \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached. \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens.
