Women in Coastal Science Speaker Series

Be inspired to make a difference. Meet the women who tackle the challenges our coastal environment faces. From rescuing marine mammals and sea turtles to understanding the impacts of extreme conditions on our Gulf shores, these women in science will share their journeys in their fields of expertise.

Dates:

• Friday, March 22
  • The first discussion features Katie St. Claire, Texas A&M Galveston’s Sea Life Facility Manager, and marine biology department lecturer. St. Clair became manager of the Sea Life Facility (SLF) in 2015, and her plate is always full – besides running the SLF on the Galveston campus, which receives thousands of visitors each year, she also helps supervise the many research projects associated with it by both faculty and students. Recent projects include looking at how organisms respond to environmental stressors, such as how some forms of marine life respond to low dissolved oxygen levels; assessing the salinity and thermal tolerances for jellyfish species; and how phytoplankton and microbes are impacted by spilled oil and dispersants.
