DESCRIPTION:Thermal stress from the 2015-2016 El Niño triggered the worst
  global bleaching and mass coral mortality event on record. Dr. Baum’s l
 ong-term field site in the central equatorial Pacific\, Kiritimati (Christ
 mas Island) was the epicenter of this event\, experiencing ten straight mo
 nths of anomalously high temperatures. Dr. Baum will share her experiences
  about the opportunities and challenges associated with attempting to stud
 y ecosystem resilience during a climate catastrophe\, and the ecological s
 urprises arising from the six expeditions she and her team made to Kiritim
 ati over the course of the event.
