Dr. Lauren Bell

Former PhD student

A former PhD student with a broad interest in how global change will impact high-latitude kelp forests and the greater ecosystems they support. My dissertation research focuses on the seasonal drivers and variation in Southeast Alaska’s macroalgal communities, projected responses of macroalgae to future multiple-stressor scenarios, and how these changes may impact the rest of the food web. My goal is that my research will be useful in informing public understanding and policy decisions in the highly productive and heavily utilized marine ecosystems of the North Pacific.

Dr. Jason Toy

Former PhD student

A PhD graduate with a broad interest in the response of marine systems to “novel” conditions, which can range from changes in temperature and carbonate chemistry to range expansions and species invasions. In my dissertation research, I am investigating how changing environmental factors are affecting kelp forest fish populations from both the ecological and evolutionary perspectives.
