Sea Zombies – Feb 10
Earth’s oceans are warming. Such large-scale aspects of climate change are disrupting important ecological balances, including the delicate service sea urchins perform in California’s kelp forest ecosystem. The implications are broad and alarming (and addressable): a warming planet may cause collapse in wild populations of vital marine life.
Our Wonderfest speaker is Daniel Okamoto, Assistant Professor of Integrative Biology, leader of the Okamoto Lab at UC Berkeley.
