Pronouns: She/her

Blanca Alvarez is graduating with a Ph.D. in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department at UCLA. Blanca examines different mechanisms behind calcifying organisms’ resiliency to ocean acidification, from rapid genetic adaptation to regulation of internal carbonate chemistry. With her research she hopes to better understand why different species exhibit varying responses to ocean acidification.
