Project Description
I studied the combined impacts of increased temperature and decreased salinity levels on a species of temperate coral, Astrangia poculata, for my honors research project. Proposed research question, developed methods, and quantified levels of stress in response to changing environmental conditions to better understand how pressures from global climate change are affecting this species.
