SeaWeek Live Webinar – Meet the Scientists
On March 6, 2025, students from Australia and New Zealand will have the opportunity to engage with leading marine scientists in a special webinar on climate change. The 45-minute session will explore the effects of ocean warming on kelp forests, coral reefs, and flatback turtles through short presentations and interactive breakout discussions.
Speakers include Dr. Arie Spyksma (University of Auckland), who will discuss the overgrazing of kelp forests by sea urchins; Dr. Kay Davis (AIMS), who will examine the impact of climate change on coral reef ecosystems; and Dr. Sabrina Fossette (DBCA), who will highlight the effects of rising sand temperatures on turtle hatchling success.
This event is part of SeaWeek, coordinated by MERC and AAEE, and is designed for students aged 15 and above. Live times: 9 AM AWST, 12 PM AEDT, 2 PM NZDT. Find out more via this link!
