Karina Scavo Lord<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Karina is a Lecturer at Boston University (BU). She completed her PhD in the Finnerty Lab at BU where she focused on understanding the role of non-reef coral habitats, like mangroves, to coral survival and evolution and its implications for conservation.\u00a0 Karina is continuing to use these approaches to investigate the spatial scale of heat tolerance and adaptation of populations of the temperate eelgrass, <\/span>Zostera marina<\/i>, across the East Coast using both genomic and experimental approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Charley Mitchell<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Charley is a first year Master’s research student at Boston University.\u00a0 He is in the Biology department and has a focus on\u00a0Ecology,\u00a0Behavior, and Evolution. He majored in Marine Science and minored in Biology at Boston University. He is working on eelgrass wasting disease and the impact it has on carbon sequestration rates around the Massachusetts area.\u00a0 In addition, Charley’s is studying the susceptibility of eelgrass populations to wasting disease using genomics and is co-advised by Dr. John Finnerty.\u00a0 When Charley is not performing his research, he likes to run along the Charles River and listen to a wide range of music<\/span><\/p>\n
