About the editors
Roger Griffis is a senior policy advisor for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Habitat Conservation. A marine ecologist by training, he has helped lead development and implementation of policies and programs related to NOAA’s environmental stewardship mission including coastal zone management and coral reef conservation.
As Coordinator of NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program from 2000-2007, Roger built strong partnerships at national to local levels for reef conservation in the U.S. and internationally. He also led development of new tools to help reef managers better understand and respond to impacts of climate change on their reefs and communities.
Over the past two years Roger has helped lead a variety of efforts to assess the impacts of climate change on the nation’s ocean and coastal resources and NOAA’s stewardship mission. He is actively involved in NOAA efforts to increase resilience of the nation’s ecosystems, communities and economies in a changing climate. His rotation with LTA is part of his participation in NOAA’s Leadership Development Program.
Jennifer is an AAAS Fellow, hosted by NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service - Marine Ecosystems Division at American Association for the Advancement of Science. Previously she has worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Maryland and Heller Fellow in the Reproductive Physiology Department – Endocrinology Unit at the Zoological Society of San Diego.
