Dr. Lydia Kapsenberg
Starting an NSF Ocean Science postdoctoral fellowship in Fall 2015. Stay Tuned!!! Email: lydia.kapsenberg at lifesci.ucsb.edu Website: www.lydiakapsenberg.weebly.com Research in the Hofmann Lab My research is focused on the intersection of oceanography and marine physiology, in order to better understand how marine organisms will cope with future ocean conditions. To do this, I quantify present-day ocean conditions (e.g. pH, oxygen, temperature) to inform predictions of future exposures and improve the design of ocean acidification biology experiments. Below are brief project descriptions and my related publications and resources. |
