Paige Gardner

Paige Gardner is a second year PhD student in the Palkovacs lab. Her research seeks to understand the potential for rapid evolution of salmon to stream warming caused by climate change. Using a combination of physiological and genomic data, she aims to identify the specific gene regions and alleles underlying thermal tolerance in salmon populations across the West Coast. She hopes to use this knowledge to inform management strategies to accelerate adaptation and conserve salmon populations.
