Brenda Konar is a marine scientist, and professor at University of Alaska Fairbanks.[1]
Life
She graduated from San Jose State University, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, and University of California, Santa Cruz.[2]
She studies the die-off in Sea stars.[3][4][5][6][7] She studies the decline in Sea Otters, boom in Sea urchins, and loss of Clathromorphum nereostratum, limestone reefs.[8][9][10][11][12] She helped discover a new habitat of rhodolith.[13][14]
In 2021, she was named Project Director of the “Fire & Ice” research project.[15]
