Pteropods Ptalk: Creating a Historical Record of Ocean Acidification in the California Current
Bryce is a second year BEES graduate student in the Invertebrate
Paleontology Department. Her research interests are centered around marine
invertebrates, such as mollusks and foraminifera, and their responses to
anthropogenic stressors. Bryce holds a B.A. in Earth and Environmental Sciences
from Vanderbilt University, where she researched the effects of heavy metal
pollution on foraminiferal test deformation. Bryce has also interned at AGI and
AGU in Washington, D.C. and is passionate about increasing the accessibility of
environmental science to policy decision makers and the public. Currently,
Bryce is investigating the direct and indirect impacts of ocean acidification
on modern pteropods, a critical organism in marine communities.
