In it together: Microbial interactions with threatened marine hosts and ecosystems

Coral reefs are diverse, productive and valuable but highly threatened by global change stressors. My research group seeks creative ways to leverage microbial symbionts and trophic interactions to improve coral and reef health. This talk will describe these efforts and associated challenges, with a particular focus on the roles and impacts of viral infections on corals.

Speaker: Adrienne Correa studies how microorganisms influence the health and resilience of marine ecosystems and strives to make these systems more accessible to all through hands-on teaching and outreach.

This event is open to the public, but is intended for an academic audience.  Dr Correa will give a general audience- oriented lecture on July 17.  See our listing
