Interdisciplinary Ecology in the Anthropocene
September 14, 2023

RECORDING AVAILABLE HERE

ESA Excellence in Ecology Scholars share their research in the Water Cooler Chat
 
Ecological research is changing as scientists grapple with new challenges confronting organisms, people and natural systems in the anthropocene. How do we promote strategies for resilient socio-ecological systems? How do we understand natural and anthropogenic factors in freshwater systems? What might contribute to coral immunity in microbiomes? And what do our dependence on oil and gas do to mangroves, food systems and local communities? Join our ESA Excellence in Ecology Scholars as they share their research perspectives in this Water Cooler Chat. Don’t forget to bring your favorite beverage!
