Excited to share that I've recently started my tenure as a member of the IOC @unesco.org Global Ocean Oxygen Network (#GO2NE) Expert Working Group! I am honored to be a part of this group and look forward to all our work on the Global Ocean Oxygen Decade (GOOD) 🌊 . www.ioc.unesco.org/en/go2ne

Global Ocean Oxygen Network (GO2NE)

GO2NE is an IOC-UNESCO expert working group and network of ocean oxygen professionals providing a global and multidisciplinary outlook on ocean deoxygenation

Looking forward to sharing the preliminary results from the past year of my postdoc with the Smithsonian Marine Station at #OSM24! Stop by Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry poster 788 tomorrow from 4-6pm to learn more about multi-stressor impacts of deoxygenation on Caribbean corals.

New Publication Alert! Super fun collaboration from my time in the Florida Keys as a postdoc at Mote! We studied reef macroalgae responses (...or lack of!) to ocean acidification. Amazing collaborators + interesting results...what more can you ask for?

Effects of ocean acidification on growth and photophysiology of two tropical reef macroalgae

Macroalgae can modify coral reef community structure and ecosystem function through a variety of mechanisms, including mediation of biogeochemistry through photosynthesis and the associated production...
