Welcome back for the Fall 2022 semester! Last week, we welcomed our incoming cohort of students with a New Student Orientation! Thanks to everyone who helped make this day a success!

Just wanted to share some insane Acropora cervicornis bleaching patterns my colleague Sam Simpson saw in September (posting with her permission). Photos taken 9.21.22 at American Shoal Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium NOAA Florida Keys NMS

You can learn more about the #StonyCoralTissueLossDisease crisis in The Bahamas in our latest publication in Frontiers for Young Minds, titled "An Underwater Pandemic Is Wiping Out Caribbean Corals." kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #Bahamas #coralrestoration

We’re also celebrating the accomplishments of these brilliant #WomenInSTEM - it’s been a joy and a privilege having you in the #CEElab!

Excited about this coming out today! Great work by the Coral Resilience Lab - The Legacy of Ruth Gates lab and Ty Roach. nature.com/articles/s4200…

Surprise party at lab meeting celebrating my promotion 😭🥰 how grateful I am to have this team!

On Thursday, March 21st, affiliated researchers across 12 disciplines and 3 USC schools presented their environmental and sustainability work at the second Wrigley Institute Annual Research Symposium. dornsife-wrigley.usc.edu/news/photo-gal…

Rounding out an incredible month for the #CEElab is the publication of Jenna Dilworth's first dissertation chapter in Royal Society Publishing #ProcB 🥳🍾🙌 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10…

Miracles do happen! It just takes a rockstar postdoc to do it! Excited to share collaborative work from The Davies Lab & The Castillo Lab at Carolina led by fearless Dr. Colleen Bove (she/her)! Gene expression plasticity facilitates coral acclimatization across divergent environments rdcu.be/dDu9X

I am honored and thrilled to share that I have been awarded the NSF-GRFP!!! I am so grateful to my fantastic advisor Carly Kenkel and labmates, and to many amazing mentors, educators, family, and friends. You all inspire me daily. And of course, an immense thank you to U.S. National Science Foundation!!!

Former CRL member Shayle Matsuda is visiting, and has been sharing images of the coral bleaching event in Florida last year. Itʻs been awful to see, but serves as a reminder of the importance of coral research and understanding coral bleaching. PC: S. Matsuda/Shedd Aquarium

2024 Wrigley Institute Graduate Fellow Maya Gomez, a PhD student in USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts & Sciences's Marine & Environmental Biology Program, uses micro-CT to evaluate fine scale changes in Staghorn #coral skeletal formation as a result of changes in their growing conditions dornsife-wrigley.usc.edu/news/coral-mor…

Caribbean reefs are in trouble. But we have a real opportunity to prevent their extinction if we can rise to the challenge.‌ nytimes.com/2024/08/15/opi…

“In the 18 years I’ve studied reefs,” Carly Kenkel writes, “coral populations have continued to decline such that they can no longer recover naturally; I worry that even those few survivors from our project won’t last another summer.” Read: nyti.ms/4crPTvW

It's finally official - excited to begin working with this team! Stay tuned for PhD and Postdoc positions in my lab as part of this project!! UC San Diego Receives $10 Million for Center on Neurobiology in Changing Environments today.ucsd.edu/story/uc-san-d…

I'm recruiting a fully funded PhD student for a Fall 2025 start - see details below and learn more about my lab here: dornsife.usc.edu/carlslab/
