Pauline Yu(marine science) studies the developmental physiology and ecology of marine invertebrates. She is interested in the biochemistry of the seawater-organism interface, developmental nutritional biochemistry and metabolic depression, invasive species, carbonate chemistry (ocean acidification), and cultural relationships with foods from the sea. Students will have the opportunity to collaboratively develop lines of inquiry for field studies in marine benthic ecology and mariculture at the Evergreen Beach.
