SSU Earth Days: Climate Change and Seaweeds

Professor Lindsay Green-Gavrielidis, leads the Marine Ecology Lab at Salem State University and studies how humans impact marine communities. In particular, she focuses on investigating how climate change and its associated impacts, including warming sea surface temperatures, affect the distribution and abundance of seaweeds (nuisance and habitat-forming). Since seaweeds form the base of many marine food webs and provide habitat to countless species, alterations in their populations will have wide consequences for marine ecosystems.
