Dr. Crissy Huffard broadly studies how marine animals respond to changing environments. She earned a PhD from UC Berkeley, conducted a postdoctoral fellowship at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), and worked for several years with Conservation International Indonesia. In 2012 she joined a team at MBARI studying deep-sea carbon sequestration at an abyssal time-series site off the California coast. This robotic observatory sits 4,000 meters deep, at the average ocean depth, and includes the world’s only fully autonomous deep-sea Rover. What do marine invertebrates and changing climate have to do with deep-sea carbon sequestration along our coast? Attend her keynote talk to find out.
