Opportunity Description

The University of Florida Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience Evenings at Whitney Lecture Series continues with Robert Lamb, Ph.D., Marine Ecologist and Research Assistant Professor. Lamb will be sharing his research on fish ecology and the response of marine fishes to anthropogenic impacts such as climate change. Using the Galapagos Islands as a model system for short and long-term ocean warming, Lamb will explore hypotheses regarding how climate change will alter population trajectories, food webs, wildlife disease outbreaks, and habitat use patterns. Reflecting on global efforts to mitigate human impacts on coastal ecosystems, Lamb will draw from his experiences creating and managing marine protected areas in the US and abroad to discuss opportunities for stewardship of marine resources in a changing world.
