This is a presentation of the latest update on my research.

Current research

My current research consists of looking into how environmental factors, such as dissolved oxygen and pH temperature, plays a role in the survivability of the Eastern Oyster and the Atlantic Acorn Barnacle. I am looking at past data of dissolved oxygen levels and pH in the New York Harbor, since I am unable to gather my own data due to COVID-19.
