Research Highlights

Max Castorani is a third year PhD student in the Environmental Science and Policy Department at UC Davis. He is concerned about biological invasions occurring at rates faster than our ability to study and understand how they change our environment, economy and society.

Max’s project, The effect of the exotic Asian mussel (Musculista senhousia) on the resilience of eelgrass (Zostera marina) to disturbance, will focus on Musculista senhousia, an invasion that has not been studied as much as others. Max will first conduct field surveys in Mission Bay, San Diego. In addition, he’ll conduct a larger experiment manipulating disturbance and observing its effects.

  Development progress in the world's poorest countries could be halted or even reversed by mid-century unless bold steps are taken now to slow climate change, prevent further environmental damage, and reduce deep inequalities within and among nations, according to projections in the 2011 Human Development Report, launched by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) here today.







Research Highlights

Max Castorani is a third year PhD student in the Environmental Science and Policy Department at UC Davis. He is concerned about biological invasions occurring at rates faster than our ability to study and understand how they change our environment, economy and society.

Max’s project, The effect of the exotic Asian mussel (Musculista senhousia) on the resilience of eelgrass (Zostera marina) to disturbance, will focus on Musculista senhousia, an invasion that has not been studied as much as others. Max will first conduct field surveys in Mission Bay, San Diego. In addition, he’ll conduct a larger experiment manipulating disturbance and observing its effects.

• Launch of the 2011 Human Development Report, "Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All"

  Development progress in the world's poorest countries could be halted or even reversed by mid-century unless bold steps are taken now to slow climate change, prevent further environmental damage, and reduce deep inequalities within and among nations, according to projections in the 2011 Human Development Report, launched November 2nd by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Research Highlights

Max Castorani is a third year PhD student in the Environmental Science and Policy Department at UC Davis. He is concerned about biological invasions occurring at rates faster than our ability to study and understand how they change our environment, economy and society.

Max’s project, The effect of the exotic Asian mussel (Musculista senhousia) on the resilience of eelgrass (Zostera marina) to disturbance, will focus on Musculista senhousia, an invasion that has not been studied as much as others. Max will first conduct field surveys in Mission Bay, San Diego. In addition, he’ll conduct a larger experiment manipulating disturbance and observing its effects.
