Researcher joins rising temperature research team

Lauren Nadler, an assistant professor at the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences, has joined a research team studying the impact of rising sea temperatures on marine life. Nadler and the rest of the research team have been studying how five-lined cardinalfish and redbelly yellowtail fusiliers from the Great Barrier Reef react to  gradually increasing temperatures. According to Nadler, “More immediately pressing than future climate change is the increasing frequency and severity of extreme ‘underwater heat waves’ that we are already seeing around the world today,” with such heat waves causing temperature increases to at most 5 degrees Celsius above the average temperature for the region. Their research found that the rise in temperature could lead to rapid physiological changes and adaptations in the two species.
