Hannah successfully defended her master's thesis! Congratulations!

Hannah Rempel defended her master's thesis on 'Quantifying the ecological drivers and impacts of parrotfish predation on Caribbean coral communities' today! She and collaborators have conducted research across three regions of the Caribbean, she has mentored over 20 undergraduates these past three years, and her research represents an important contribution to our understanding of the capacity of corals to heal from parrotfish predation scars, as well as ecological factors of coral reef communities that influence patterns of parrotfish corals predation intensity. 

We are excited to announce that Hannah is starting her PhD studying the trophic dynamics of herbivorous fishes using behavioral and molecular techniques with Dr. Jordan Casey's lab at the University of Texas at Austin Marine Science Institute this Winter!

Congratulations Hannah!
