Brooke Weigel
Bullish on Kelp
When she’s not taking temperatures at the bottom of the Salish Sea, Dr Brooke Weigel of Friday Harbor Labs creates beautiful sketches and prints of her favourite marine subjects. Brooke is a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington.
Her research examines how the interactive effects of thermal stress and nitrogen limitation impact bull kelp physiology, survival and reproductive success. It aims to inform management of declining bull kelp populations and restoration efforts in the Salish Sea. (It also provides powerful artistic inspiration.) Find out more here.
