Warming Waters and Metabolic Rates
As climate change continues to warm our world and its waters, scientists and researchers across the globe have spent years attempting to understand and predict the ramifications such warming will have on Earth’s ecosystems. Predictions can range from mild effects to the catastrophic, but one team of researchers are finding that a seemingly innocuous choice could be skewing findings. Dr. E

The steady march of progress looks different to all, but in his doctoral dissertation Sam Bickley, Ph.D., measured the effect that a certain type of progress is having on tidal creeks. Rapid development along coastal areas, particularly residential and suburban expansion, can have significant implications for the surrounding environment. While existing protections and conservation efforts can mitigate some of these impacts, it is impossible to anticipate every consequence of development. Seem
