DESCRIPTION:Conservation Between the Tides: Seagrass Meadows Past\, Present
 \, and Future\n\nSeagrass meadows are critical ocean ecosystems that purif
 y water\, mitigate pollution\, stabilize sediments\, and support diverse m
 arine life — yet they are increasingly threatened by climate change\, ri
 sing temperatures\, and infectious disease. Assistant Professor Aoki will 
 spotlight seagrass ecology and conservation on the west coast and beyond\,
  highlighting the capacity for ecological resilience\, successful restorat
 ion\, and the power of collaborative science to advance conservation effor
 ts.\n\nAbout the speaker: Lillian Aoki is a coastal scientist studying eco
 system dynamics and resilience in nearshore and estuarine habitats. Using 
 field\, lab\, and computational methods\, her work builds a cross-scale un
 derstanding of coastal ecology in a rapidly changing world. Current projec
 ts examine seagrass meadow recovery following marine heatwaves and the rol
 e of land management in carbon sequestration in tidal marshes. She earned 
 her PhD in Environmental Sciences from the University of Virginia.\n\nRefr
 eshments provided. Doors open at 6:00 PM.\n\nSponsored by the Graduate Evo
 lutionary Biology & Ecology Students (GrEBES) and the Institute for Ecolog
 y and Evolution (IE²).
