Pauline Yu (marine science) studies the developmental physiology and ecology of marine invertebrates. She is interested in the biochemistry of the seawater-organism interface, developmental nutritional biochemistry and metabolic depression, invasive species, carbonate chemistry (ocean acidification), and cultural relationships with foods from the sea. Students will have the opportunity to collaboratively develop lines of inquiry for field studies in marine benthic ecology and mariculture at the Evergreen Beach. Semi-monthly opportunities for fieldwork at the beach alternate with an online seminar in student-selected topics and readings of shellfish research.
Registration
Low tides will be at night. Students must be available to attend evening activities.
Students will need to be sufficiently able-bodied to hike down to the beach at designated times. Fieldwork at the Evergreen Beach and willingness to work outdoors in cold, wet/muddy conditions are requirements of this offering. Students who need vehicle access will need to make arrangements with the faculty.
