Marine Research Student Colloquium
2023 Colloquium: Thursday and Friday, October 19th and 20th
Keynote Speaker
Dr. Jacqueline Padilla-Gamiño
Dr. Padilla-Gamiño is an Associate Professor at the University of Washington in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences. Dr. Padilla-Gamiño studies algae and marine invertebrates' ecophysiology and reproductive biology in a changing environment. By combining field and laboratory techniques, she examines the effects of climate change and marine pollution on coastal ecosystems. She received the NSF CAREER and the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship in Ocean Sciences in recognition of her distinguished performance and unique potential to contribute substantially to the field. She graduated from Universidad Autónoma de Baja California with a BS in Oceanography. Padilla-Gamiño completed an MS in Biology at California State University Northridge, a PhD in Oceanography at the University of Hawaii, and a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of California Santa Barbara. She is interested in science communication and community engagement and is the author of the bilingual children’s book ‘Kupe and the Corals’ which has been translated into five languages.
Why sex is important for ocean solutions in a changing climate
Sexual reproduction is a fundamental process necessary for species persistence, evolution, and diversity. However, unprecedented ocean change due to climate and anthropogenic effects can impact physiological processes with important implications for growth and the ability to reproduce. I will discuss the effects of temperature on marine organisms and provide important recommendations for future research to better understand how reproduction will be affected in the context of a rapidly changing environment. Since models often consider the “reproductive parameter” as a “black box” and/or often overestimate it, I seek avenues to include reproduction in designing and developing better tools to project future ecological trends in response to global change.
