Lightning Talks: Professor Jake Allgeier

As part of the Lightning Talk Series focused Conservation and Restoration, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Professor Jake Allgeier discusses how to apply ecological theory to help solve real-world conservation problems. As an example, he asks:
What are drivers of productivity in tropical coastal ecosystems? (Theory)
How can we leverage this knowledge to improve conservation efforts? (Applied)

The Lightning Talk Series is designed to spark new interdisciplinary research, teaching, and engagement collaborations that address global challenges at the nexus of environment and society. Learn from sustainability scholars across campus through a series of environment and sustainability short talks hosted by the University of Michigan’s School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS).
