# Event Details - **Event Name**: 2026 Sea Secrets Lecture Series with Gabriel Reygondeau, Ph.D. - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: Marine biodiversity research has evolved from field observations to powerful global modeling frameworksAbout this EventUnveiling the Ocean’s Hidden Hotspots: Mapping Marine Biodiversity in a Changing WorldProgram at 5:30 p.m.; Reception following the programGabriel Reygondeau, Ph.D., assistant professor, Department of Marine Biology and Ecology, Rosenstiel School, and core faculty member, Frost Institute for Data Science and ComputingMarine biodiversity research has evolved from field observations to powerful global modeling frameworks that reveal the ocean’s hidden patterns of life. In this talk, Gabriel Reygondeau will trace that evolution—from the creation of FishBase, which revolutionized ecological synthesis, to the development of AquaMaps 2.0, a next-generation platform integrating machine learning, high-resolution environmental data, and ensemble forecasting. Capable of projecting the distributions of more than 30,000 marine species, AquaMaps 2.0 generates detailed global maps of species richness, rarity, and phylogenetic diversity, providing new insights into biogeographic patterns, conservation priorities, and how climate change is reshaping biodiversity across our planet’s oceans.About the SpeakerGabriel Reygondeau is a marine ecologist and oceanographer and assistant professor at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School. His research explores global marine biodiversity, climate-driven shifts in species distributions, and the development of large-scale ecological niche models. He leads the AquaX initiative (AquaMaps 2.0) under the FishBase Consortium, integrating machine learning and environmental data to model more than 30,000 species worldwide. Reygondeau contributes to global science-policy efforts including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPBES, the Nereus Program, and the Half-Earth Project, linking biodiversity science with conservation action. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/miami/2026-sea-secrets-lecture-series-with-gabriel-reygondeau-phd/100001975630220171 - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Miami - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science - **lat**: 25.7326805 - **long**: -80.1627436 - **full address**: University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway, Miami, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 2026 Sea Secrets Lecture Series with Gabriel Reygondeau, Ph.D. - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=2026+Sea+Secrets+Lecture+Series+with+Gabriel+Reygondeau%2C+Ph.D.&date=Tue%2C+07+Apr%2C+2026+at+05%3A30+pm&bg=2 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 2026 Sea Secrets Lecture Series with Gabriel Reygondeau, Ph.D. being held? - **A:** 2026 Sea Secrets Lecture Series with Gabriel Reygondeau, Ph.D. takes place on Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm at University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway, Miami, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing 2026 Sea Secrets Lecture Series with Gabriel Reygondeau, Ph.D.? - **A:** 2026 Sea Secrets Lecture Series with Gabriel Reygondeau, Ph.D. is organized by University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "2026 Sea Secrets Lecture Series with Gabriel Reygondeau, Ph.D.", "image": "https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=2026+Sea+Secrets+Lecture+Series+with+Gabriel+Reygondeau%2C+Ph.D.&date=Tue%2C+07+Apr%2C+2026+at+05%3A30+pm&bg=2", "startDate": "2026-04-07", "endDate": "2026-04-07", "url": "https://allevents.in/miami/2026-sea-secrets-lecture-series-with-gabriel-reygondeau-phd/100001975630220171", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "4600 Rickenbacker Causeway", "postalCode": "33149", "addressLocality": "Miami", "addressRegion": "FL", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "25.7326805", "longitude": "-80.1627436" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Marine biodiversity research has evolved from field observations to powerful global modeling frameworks", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-11", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-07", "validFrom": "2026-04-11", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/miami/2026-sea-secrets-lecture-series-with-gabriel-reygondeau-phd/100001975630220171" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-11", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-11", "url": "https://allevents.in/miami/2026-sea-secrets-lecture-series-with-gabriel-reygondeau-phd/100001975630220171", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/university-of-miami-rosenstiel-school-of-marine-and-atmospheric-science/17601856", "description": "The Advancement and Communication Department at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science" } ] } ] ```
