The Glass Lab
Fisheries | Genomics | Sustainability
Research in The Glass Lab at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences combines genomic sequencing with environmental datasets to address topics spanning the fields of fisheries, evolutionary biology and ecology.
We use genomic tools to answer questions such as resilience to climate change, response to anthropogenic stressors, and spatiotemporal patterns of biodiversity.
Members of the Glass and López labs received awards for their talks and posters at the Alaska Chapter of the American Fisheries Society Meeting in Seward, AK in March 2024!
