The dead zone, or hypoxic area, is an area of low oxygen that can kill fish and other marine life.

The Julia Elkin Conservation Leadership Award has been established in memory of Elkin, a member of the SEAS community who graduated in 2015. Elkin passed away on February 25 after being struck by a car while jogging in Berkeley, California, and sustaining a traumatic brain injury. With generous support from the Wyss Foundation and U-M, an endowment has been established with a $200,000 gift that aims to honor Elkin’s memory by supporting students with interests similar to hers, enabling them to participate in a summer internship experience focused on U.S. land conservation.
