Wetland Fringe: Sea Kelp Forest Monitoring & Remote Sensing

Originally Broadcast on October 13th, 2021, 12:30 - 1:30 pm ET

Let's dive into the subtidal fringe. The seaweeds kelp are ecosystem engineers that provide ecosystem services ranging from primary production of organic carbon and O2, shelter and food for marine species, and buffering for storm events. These systems contribute to people in many ways via ecosystems services like fisheries support, coastal protection, carbon sequestration, and recreation. Come hear how Dr. Kathryn Schoenrock-Rossiter and her team are monitoring the distribution of kelp in Ireland and evaluating resilience via genetic diversity and potential banks of microscopic kelp forms. We will also take a deep dive into monitoring tools and remote sensing applications with satellites (infrared/near infrared).
