Climate-induced changes in phenology in coastal ecosystems- Michelle Staudinger

Active
By National Science Foundation/USGS Internship Opportunities June 30, 2018

Shifts in phenology provide one of the strongest indicators of an organism’s adaptive capacity to climate change, yet it is one of the most poorly known consequences of future impacts. This project seeks to improve understanding and develop adaptation strategies of the effects of phenological shifts and trophic mismatches in Atlantic coastal fish, seabird and marine mammal species.
