Marine conservation research
Julia Baum, a professor in the Department of Biology, studies the resilience of marine ecosystems in the face of human disturbance. Her research focuses on their ecology and conservation, investigating how disruptions such as climate change are altering these ecosystems, and if and how they’ll recover.

Small but mighty - studying marine phytoplankton
Diana Varela, a professor in the Department of Biology and School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, has studied phytoplankton for the past 20 years. Varela discusses how these lifeforms are the crux of ecosystems both aquatic and terrestrial, producing about half of Earth’s oxygen, cycling elements such as carbon, silicon and nitrogen throughout the ocean, all while providing a primary food source for marine animals. She also talks about how student researchers at the undergraduate and graduate level are at the heart of her research. http://youtube.com/uvic http://uvic.ca
