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.

Oceanography

o   Quantifying coastal pH variability in McMurdo Sound,          
       Antarctica:  
              * Kapsenberg et al. 2015, Scientific Reports

o    Quantifying coastal pH variability along the Channel Islands 
       National Park, California:  
              * Hofmann et al. 2013, Oceanography
              * 'Keeping up with ocean change', From Shore to Sea,    
                  Channel Islands National Park lecture series

o    Middle school science curriculum: an ecosystem comparison 
       of pH variability
              * Kapsenberg et al. in press, Science Scope

Marine Physiology
 
o    Fertilization, development, stress tolerance of Antarctic sea 
       urchin Sterechinus neumaryeri 
              * Kapsenberg and Hofmann 2014, Polar Biology
              * Yu et al. 2013, Plos One
              * Sewell et al. 2012, 
Environmental Science & Technology

o    Sea urchin fertilization, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus 
              * Hofmann et al. 2013, Biogeosciences

o    Intertidal heat stress response of mussel Mytilus 
       californianus during simulated upwelling and relaxation 
       conditions using next-generation sequencing techniques
