Explore early pilot study results on temperature, oxygen and marine life in Puget Sound
Friday, August 15 | 11:00 am – 1:00 pm PT
Puget Sound Institute continues the Science of Puget Sound Water Quality workshop series, which explores emerging science and insights to help protect water quality in Puget Sound.
Not only does warmer water hold less oxygen, but it simultaneously increases how much oxygen marine species need, so it’s important to consider the synergistic impacts of temperature and dissolved oxygen. Dig into preliminary results from a pilot study exploring how temperature-dependent oxygen supply and demand shape when and where marine species are most vulnerable in Puget Sound. This collaborative effort between the University of Washington Puget Sound Institute and Dr. Tim Essington applies a metabolic lens to complement traditional dissolved oxygen assessments and deepen our understanding of ecological risk.
Join us to explore these early findings, offer your insights, and help shape the direction of this evolving research.
This event is free, but registration is required.
