CT River Lecture Series Spring 2025 Descriptions

Hannes Baumann lives in Groton, CT, where he works as an Associate Professor at the University of Connecticut’s Department of Marine Sciences. There he has led the Evolutionary Fish Ecology Lab since 2014, which investigates coastal marine fishes and uses a variety of methods from experiments to field studies and modeling. The overall goal is to better understand the ongoing changes in local fish communities change and how fish species may be able cope with ocean warming, acidification and oxygen loss. This work directly involves and greatly benefits from Baumann’s long-standing collaboration with many dedicated researchers at the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
