​Our Speakers:

​Meade Krosby partners with land managers, policymakers, and communities to understand and address how climate change affects nature and people. Her work focuses on climate resilience, conservation planning, and helping others build skills and networks for adaptation.

​Alex Gagnon studies how ocean acidification affects corals and ocean chemistry. He uses advanced tools and lab experiments to understand small-scale chemical changes and how they connect to global ocean patterns.

​Eli Wheat is passionate about regenerative food systems and teaches courses on sustainability and food production at UW. He co-chairs the Farm Advisory Committee with Dr. Yona Sipos and Farm Manager Perry Acworth, supporting the UW Farm.

​Meg Chadsey's work revolves around the causes and consequences of excess carbon dioxide in the marine environment, and finding solutions to those problems.

​Ginger Armbrust (Moderator) studies phytoplankton, which drive about 40% of global photosynthesis and are key to the carbon cycle and climate. Her research also explores how these organisms interact with bacteria.
