		TUESDAY JAN 26, 2010 7:30 PM ACS-LA LECTURE Contaminants in Marine Mammals by Gwen D. Goodmanlowe, Ph.D., Cal State Long Beach
		Dr. Goodmanlowe’s passion for the ocean began at a young age when she would spend her summers along the New Jersey shores, fishing and boating. After receiving her B.S. from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey, she headed west and received her Masters Degree at Cal State Long Beach where she examined the effects of ultraviolet radiation on coral bleaching. Marine mammals attracted her to the University of Hawaii where she obtained her Ph.D studying the feeding ecology of the endangered Hawaiian monk seal. She currently is a lecturer at CSULB, while continuing her pinniped research on the side. Her current research is looking at the effects of DDT and PCBs on our three local species of Pinnipeds (California sea lion, Pacific harbor seal, and northern elephant seal), as well as the contaminants in three species of cetaceans from Palmyra Atoll.
