Applied ecology for impacted oceans baumlab.weebly.com
With a home base at the beautiful University of Victoria, researchers in the Baum Lab conduct statistical analyses of large data sets, field observations and experiments to investigate how human disturbances alter marine populations, community structure, and ecosystem stability, and the broader implications of these changes for our society. Current research focuses on remote Pacific coral reefs, north temperate marine ecosystems, and global meta-analyses.

Our new paper on coral survival during a prolonged heatwave is out in Nature Climate Change!
Coral recovery during a prolonged heatwave offers new hope Some corals managed to survive a globally unprecedented heatwave, in a first-ever study that provides new hope for the long-term survival of coral reefs in the face of climate change
In 2017 researchers from the Martin Conservation Decisions Lab at the University of British Columbia and University of Victoria’s Baum Lab led a conservation decision-making exercise – Priority Threat Management (PTM).
They collaborated with the Canadian government, the province of British Columbia, the Pacific Salmon Foundation and the Raincoast Conservation Foundation to identify the most cost- effective options for recovering and maintaining the region's biodiversity.
