Congrats to Jenn Fields on her recent achievements! 03/12/2019 Congrats to M.S. student Jenn for receiving the following awards this past year! UC Davis Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute (CMSI) nd California State University Council on Ocean Affairs, Science, and Technology (COAST) CMSI-COAST Scholars program. In the basecamp component in Fall 2019, she will connect with resource management stakeholders to broaden the impact of her research. She will present her thesis research at UC Davis Sustainable Oceans research symposium Spring 2020

Nutrient pollution disrupts key ecosystem functions on coral reefs 06/08/2018 Check out our newest paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B title Nutrient pollution disrupts key ecosystem functions on coral reefs. Here is the link to the paper and some recent press. There is a long history of examining the impacts of nutrient pollution and pH on coral reefs. However, little is known about how these two stressors interact and influence coral reef ecosystem functioning. Using a six-week nutrient addition experiment, we measured the impact of elevated nitrate

Primary producers may ameliorate impacts of daytime CO2 addition in a coastal marine ecosystem 05/09/2018 Check out our newest paper titled, "Primary producers may ameliorate impacts of daytime CO2 addition in a coastal marine ecosystem" Here is the abstract: Predicting the impacts of ocean acidification in coastal habitats is complicated by biophysical feedbacks between organisms and carbonate chemistry. Daily changes in pH and other carbonate parameters in coastal ecosystems, associated with processes such as photosynthesis and respiration, often greatly exceed global mean predicted changes over

High frequency temperature variability reduces risk of coral bleaching 04/26/2018 We have a new paper out in Nature Communiciations! Check it out here. Here is our abstract: Coral bleaching is the detrimental expulsion of algal symbionts from their cnidarian hosts, and predominantly occurs when corals are exposed to thermal stress. The incidence and severity of bleaching is often spatially heterogeneous within reef-scales (<1 km), and is therefore not predictable using conventional remote sensing products. Here, we systematically assess the relationship between in situ
