NBC News Buffalo interviews Trevor Krabbenhoft about the effects of climate change in our region

WGRZ-TV produced a news story on the science of climate change features Trevor Krabbenhoft and other UB faculty who are researching "specifically" what climate change means in our region. He discusses the delicate balance of Lake Erie's fresh water and how aquatic life respond to environmental change. Krabbenhoft states, "We don't realize how rare this kind of environment is globally." Using functional genomics and bioinformatics to test hypotheses related to mechanisms underlying how fish respond to their environment, we can better predict outcomes for future scenarios of environmental change. Krabbenhoft's research has important management and conservation implications both locally for the Great Lakes and more broadly for aquatic ecosystems worldwide. (Krabbenhoft's interview begins at 3:43/5:35)
