Coral Reef Ecology
Science outreach is an extremely vital tool for the Smith Lab. What good is knowledge if you don’t share it? Jill Harris talks about her experience judging science fair projects at the San Diego Science Fair.
Members of the Smith Lab get to travel the world to conduct their coral reef research, but PhD student Levi Lewis reminds us that when you live in San Diego, life is not too bad.
Alex Neu, an undergraduate student from California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB), worked in the Smith Lab throughout the entire summer. Experiencing all the aspects of a marine scientist, he describes what motivates him to continue to pursue this rewarding career path.
Summer may be at its peak, but members of the Smith Lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) are still hard at work! Some are out & about around the world checking on their experiments and collecting data, others are right here in San Diego learning new skills and working on various projects. Find out what people are up to!
In the fall of 2010, researchers from SDSU, SIO, and other coral reef ecologists collaborated together for a research cruise to the Northern Line Islands, home to the some of the most pristine coral reef ecosystems still thriving in the world today.
