"The small things of the worlds are also wonderful and big and of these small things, the worlds are built." C.G. Ehrenberg 1818
How does the diversity of algae play a role in the study of changing environment and how can we use algal biodiversity to explore questions like alternative energy (such as biofuels)? We'll talk about the amazing diversity of algae and how they adapt to interesting, (often) extreme environments including our own New Mexican rivers and springs.
Dr. Becky Bixby is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of New Mexico and part of the EPSCoR energy research partnership with this Museum. As a freshwater algal ecologist, her local projects include exploring human and natural impacts on diatom biodiversity and abundance in arid-land rivers. She earned a B.A. from Albion College (Michigan), an M.S. from the University of Cincinnati, and a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.
