Presenter: Sara Hamilton
Location: 221 Allen Hall, University of Oregon, *Please note meeting is not at Amazon Community Center
Sara is a marine ecologist who studies how ocean ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest are changing and what it means for the critters and people who depend on them. Her PhD work on kelp forests was conducted through the Department of Integrative Biology at Oregon State University. She has also studied spatial patterns in the effects of ocean acidification and hypoxia on commercially important shellfish species. She decided to leave academia to find new ways to use her scientific skills to help create healthier ocean ecosystems and communities. Currently she is the science coordinator for the Oregon Kelp Alliance.
