The St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center hosted a mini panel discussion of scientists for local children to learn about USGS research, capabilities, and techniques for studying changes in climate across Earth’s history. Scientists Julie Richey and Lauren Toth presented a brief overview of their research and participated in a question & answer session with the students.

Indi-Ed is a school designed to include strategic educational opportunities that connect to the real world so that students become energized about learning. They will be visiting the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center for a tour and mini panel discussion of scientists on Friday, February 14th to learn about our research, capabilities, and to learn about techniques for studying changes in climate across Earth’s history. PIs Julie Richey and Lauren Toth will present a brief overview of their research and participate in a question & answer session with the students.

Paleoclimate Reconstruction from Marine and Lake Sediments

Instrumental measurements of climate variables (e.g., precipitation, temperature, ocean circulation, etc.) are only available over the past century or less. In order to quantify the rate and magnitude of natural climate variability going back in time beyond the 20th century, scientists rely on paleoclimate reconstructions.

Local-scale ecosystem resilience amid global-scale ocean change: the coral reef example

Coral reefs are massive, wave resistant structures found throughout the tropics, where they have long attracted attention for their beauty, ecological importance, and rich biological diversity. However, in recent years attention to these systems has focused on their downturn in health and the potential that they effectively could disappear within a century. Yet while many coral reefs have deterio
