Shaving Private Ryan: The Coastal Sea Urchin's War against the effects of Marine Climate Change.

Join us for an insightful webinar as we delve into the effects of climate change stressors, such as ocean acidification and warming, on marine ecosystems. Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are escalating rapidly, underscoring the urgency of understanding how these stressors affect marine organisms. While single-stressor effects have traditionally been studied in isolation, there is a growing recognition of the need to investigate interactive stressor impacts. Sea urchins, known for their remarkable calcification and tissue regeneration abilities, serve as an ideal model for studying these effects.
In this webinar, we will explore how climate change stressors impact the regeneration and calcification processes in the coastal sea urchin Psammechinus miliaris. Using advanced phenotypic assays and histological techniques, our study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of sea urchin regeneration and calcification mechanisms. By unraveling these processes, we hope to gain valuable insights into the potential impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity and ecosystem health.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the fascinating world of sea urchins and the vital role they play in understanding the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems. Join us for an engaging discussion and delve deeper into the complexities of marine biology and environmental science.
