Please join us on Zoom for the Marine Biology seminar. Dr. Paula Welander (Stanford University) will present 'Linking the geologic and genomic records: Characterization of lipid fossils in extant microbe.'
Seminars
Please join us on Zoom for the Marine Biology seminar. Dr. Jennifer Jacquet (New York University) will present 'A consumer approach to fisheries conservation: social theory, science, and values.'
Abstract: The first ocean-related label was the ‘dolphin-safe’ logo for tuna in 1990. Since then, a suite of sustainability efforts have targeted seafood consumers, including the most prominent eco-label for fish, the Marine Stewardship Council’s blue tick. We will…
Please join us on Zoom for the Marine Biology seminar. Dr. Mary Donovan (Arizona State University) will present 'Interactions between local and global stressors on coral reefs.'
Abstract: There is often a mismatch between the scales at which human impacts threaten ecosystems and those at which management and policy are implemented. To develop more effective and strategic management of social-ecological systems, we need a better understanding of the scales over which human impacts interact with ecological complexity. I will present evidence that climate…
Please join us on Thursday, October 21 at 8am (Pacific Time) for a virtual discussion with the University of Southampton.
We will begin with brief talks from Dr. Tom Ezard, "Integrating geochemical, genetic and morphological signals of species limits," and Dr. Ron Burton, “Population differentiation and mitonuclear incompatibilities in…

Geno Pawlak - Flow and transport on tropical coasts
The dynamics of flows in tropical coastal environments are distinct from temperate coasts in a number of ways. Tropical coasts are often characterized by steep, complex bathymetry and high roughness. In addition surface buoyancy fluxes can be…
Please join us on Zoom for the Marine Biology seminar. Drs. Gabby Ahmadia (World Wildlife Fund) and David Gill (Duke University) will present 'Knowledge co-production in marine conservation: working across NGOs and academia.'
Please join us on Zoom for the Marine Biology seminar. Dr. Nicole Ratib (University of Southern California) will present 'Genomic and physiological characterization of Escherichia coli evolving in long-term batch culture.'
Abstract: In most natural environments, bacteria spend much of their time under conditions of starvation and stress. Long-term batch cultures are an excellent laboratory system to study adaptation during nutrient stress because cells are incubated for relatively long periods of time, months to years, without the addition of nutrients. During…
Please join us on Zoom for the Marine Biology seminar. Dr. Anitra Ingalls (University of Washington) will present 'Metabolite signatures of marine microbial communities.'
Abstract: A central function of plankton community metabolism is to transform inorganic nutrients into organic molecules. Yet, relatively little is known about the structural diversity, concentration, and cycling of many of these molecules. In this talk I will show that intracellular metabolomes reflect…

Jack Gilbert - The Microbiome and Neurobiological Disease
Differences in the proportion of species of bacteria, their genes and metabolomic products in the human intestine have been found to be associated with numerous disease states…
Nortek will present how its products have been used to address a wide range of applications, from turbulence in shallow water, to biomass estimation in Antarctica, to wave measurements in the tropics, to sediment dynamics in shipping channels, and much more (yes, including profiling currents).
