# Event Details - **Event Name**: Science on Tap: Coastal Climate Change Resilience with Dr. Will White - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 15 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: TIMES: 5 - 6 PM: Social Hour with Food and beverage for Sale 6 - 7 PM: Talk (hybrid option) LOCATION: Carmen Ford Phillips Auditorium, Gladys Valley Marine Studies Building, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Newport This event is free and open to the public. SUMMARY: Climate change poses multiple threats to marine ecosystems. These range from marine heatwaves that have decimated Pacific coast kelp forests, low-oxygen conditions killing fish and crabs on the Oregon coast, and even changes in the sex ratio of sea turtle populations, which require cool temperatures to produce male hatchlings. The solution to this man-made crisis is ultimately global, but there are local actions we can take to make coastal ecosystems more resilient and help them withstand and adapt to change. This talk will consider two case studies, kelp forests and tropical sea turtles. We will see how ecologists use mathematical models of ecosystem change to understand and predict how different human interventions, from sea urchin culling to habitat restoration to marine reserves, can be used together to promote climate resilience. Come learn how we can set priorities to conserve our valuable coasts. SPEAKER: Dr. Will White is an Associate Professor at Oregon State University and is located at the Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station in Newport which is located the Hatfield Marine Science Center.
