opportunity is available at the University of
California, Santa Barbara to study the response of marine ecosystems
and biogeochemistry to external climate change, with emphasis on implications
for fisheries. There is significant potential for flexibility in defining the
scope of the PhD project, and potential projects may include using
climate model simulations to assess changes in bottom-up drivers of fishery
productivity, interactions between climate variability and fisheries, or marine
ecological cost/benefit tradeoffs in future climate scenarios. Students will
have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art climate and fisheries modeling
techniques, as well as syntheses of marine ecological and fishery data in
collaboration with the Cheryl Harrison Lab at the University of Texas, Rio
Grande Valley, in addition to other members of the vibrant UCSB marine
ecological research community.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span></span></span></p>
