New working group to develop a U.S. coastal climate prediction and impact information system
Manu Di Lorenzo, Sam Siedlecki, Clarissa Anderson, and Malin are co-chairing a US CLIVAR working group to plan for more effective coastal climate impact prediction and information delivery, including species on the move and other biological impacts for coastal economies.

The lab is treated to a visitor
Recently, lab members were treated to a two-week visit by Jason Toy, a PhD student in Dr. Kristy Kroeker’s lab at University of California Santa Cruz. Jason spent time with lab members Brendan Reid, Rene Clark and others to discuss
Evolution key to coral conservation
In a new paper just out in Nature Ecology & Evolution, we argue that conservation for corals (and likely many other species) needs to explicitly plan for evolution to survive the effects of climate change: Paper here Press release here
FutureBlue website launched!
We are very excited to announce the launch of our project website: futureblue.net. FutureBlue is an online database and mapping platform designed to make projections of future ocean conditions (species distributions, wind speed, oceanography, etc.) available and useful for the
New papers highlighting ecoevolutionary adaptation to climate change
Two new papers from the lab discuss how best to understand, and to mitigate, the effects of climate change by applying ecoevolutionary theory. The first, published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution (doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2022.04.011) proposes that dominant ecoevolutionary processes for
