<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>Abstract: </span><span style="color:black;background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%">The exchange of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, into the
ocean, and its sequestration in marine sediments is a fundamental control of
the global carbon cycle and in turn, Earth’s climate through time. A
comprehensive understanding of the processes that control marine sediment
biogeochemistry can strengthen our interpretations of past climates, constrain
present carbon fluxes, and improve predictions of the planet’s future climate
trajectory. However, several critical aspects related to the role of marine
sediments in both local and global<b> </b>carbon dynamics remain poorly
understood. For example, what are the micro- to macroscale controls of carbon
cycling in modern marine sediments? How does the biogeochemical processing of
carbon in marine sediments influence our reconstructions of the geologic past?
And how will the processing, storage, and fluxes of carbon in marine sediments
respond to future climate change and other anthropogenic stressors? In this
talk, I will share insights into these questions </span><span>from </span><span style="color:black;background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%">different nearshore
marine environments and coastal sedimentary systems around the world. Using </span><span>complimentary
field- and laboratory-based experimental approaches and a suite of analytical
tools, I will elucidate multiple complexities of carbon cycling in coastal
marine sediments and potential implications for past, present, and future
climates. Deeply interwoven with this work is building the collaborative and
diverse global effort needed to address the climate crisis. I will share
insights from my efforts to support, amplify, and center the voices of those
most impacted by the current and future consequences of climate change.<span></span></span></p>

studying carbon cycling in coastal ecosystems and working towards a more just,
equitable and inclusive geoscience community. She earned bachelor’s and
master’s degrees in Geology from Temple University in her hometown of
Philadelphia before working as a Staff Geologist at a leading environmental
consulting firm. Her irrefutable passion for scientific research and education
led her to pursue a doctoral degree at Scripps Institution of Oceanography
where she studied the role of sedimentary carbonate dissolution in shallow
coral reefs. She is currently a University of California (UC) Davis Chancellor’s
Postdoctoral Fellow and member of the Ocean Climate Lab at UC Davis’ Bodega
Marine Laboratory. There, she is researching carbon cycling in temperate
seagrasses and other coastal ecosystems. Throughout her career, Dr. Griffin has
continually worked to dismantle barriers for future geoscientists and has
received multiple honors for these efforts, including the 2018 UC San Diego
Inclusive Excellence Award. Dr. Griffin looks forward to continuing to develop
geochemical research that centers those most impacted by environmental change
and leads to more just, innovative, and inclusive solutions.<span></span></span></p>
