Nearly the whole lab and many collaborators will be at Ocean Sciences in New Orleans next week talking about our work! Monday, 9:30-9:45am, R02: Talia Young, “ME11A-07: How Are Fishing Patterns and Fishing Communities Responding to Climate Change? A
We’re looking for good Ph.D. applicants! We have a Ph.D. position open to research marine metapopulation dynamics using field work combined with population genomics. Our research group has interests in marine ecology, population genetics/genomics, climate change, biogeography, dispersal, and fisheries.
We took a lot of photos in January during our trip to Leyte, Philippines, and it has taken us a while to get them sorted and online (thank you, Michelle!). But here they are, plus the rest of our photos
From Patrick Flanagan, Ph.D student in Oceanography, while doing fieldwork in the Philippines last week: There’s not much to listen to while scuba diving… mostly your own bubbles, and the Rice Krispies pops and crackles of coral-munching fish and disgruntled
It’s hard to believe that we’ve already been in the Philippines for over a week! Four fifths of the Pinsky Lab is here to conduct a census of clownfish and their host anemones. After two full days of travel by
Field season #2 on our NSF RAPID grant to study coral reef ecosystem recovery from Typhoon Haiyan in Leyte, Philippines. We’re continuing benthic cover, fish visual surveys, and invertebrate surveys, but our main focus is on clownfish metapopulation dynamics and

Just posted a new photo album from fieldwork in Leyte, Philippines. Enjoy!
Pinsky Lab Phillipines is closing down after a great summer season! We (Michelle and field assistant Gerry Sucano) collected 540 clownfish samples and performed fish and coral transects on 600 m of reef off the western coast of Leyte. While
Michelle is still over in Leyte, Philippines with field assistant Gerry Sucano, but already, what we’ve seen of the damage from Typhoon Haiyan to the reefs has been stunning. This was the strongest typhoon in recorded history ever to make
