Elizabeth J. Sbrocco, Ph.D.

I am a marine scientist studying climate change and biodiversity in our world’s oceans. I am particularly interested in how population connectivity and spatial variation in adaptive potential interact to determine species resilience in response to environmental stress. I employ a diverse set of skills in my studies, borrowing tools from molecular ecology, geospatial analysis, and environmental modeling to study evolution in response to climate change on paleontological and contemporary timescales and to predict the fate of marine species in the face of current and future threats.
