As part of our continuing Knauss Brown Bag seminar series, we have two new talks tomorrow at noon in the NOAA Central Library.
First up, Amanda Keledjian (Office of Protected Resources) will tell us all about her work studying sea lion stranding and fisheries interactions during periods of El Nino conditions that are often experienced in the California Current Ecosystem. This interdisciplinary work brings together oceanography, coastal health, animal mischief, and fisheries - come see what results!
Second, Heidi Geisz (Committee on Natural Resources: Subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife) will talk about her work investigating persistent organic pollutants in the Antarctic environment. You thought that it was pristine and isolated from the effects of human pollution? As it turns out, researchers can study pollution within the food web by analyzing animal tissues. In this case, Heidi studied Adelie penguins! Come find out what she knows about the contaminants found in one of the most beautiful regions on the planet.
As always, bring your lunch and some stimulating questions for our speakers.
