Project Description

I am working in partnership with the Hakai Institute on the Sentinels of Change Alliance project, monitoring biodiversity in the Salish Sea. I focus primarily on seaweed ecology and biodiversity, in particular the impacts of climate-related stressors on the seasonality, successional dynamics and environmental tolerances of NE Pacific seaweeds.
