James Cook Univ. Baker's research focuses on the functional roles of coastal ecosystems in support of fisheries, particularly their role as nurseries for fishery species. Research opportunities include field and laboratory based studies of coastal food webs, with a focus on the diets of early juveniles of fishery species.

Carmichael, Ruth, Ph. Boston Univ. Research focuses on how human activities and pollution affect animals oysters, horseshoe crabs, dolphins and manatees and their habitats, using traditional ecological, elemental and telemetry methods to understand responses to change, from physiology to growth and survival or movement patterns.

Students in her laboratory can opt to work with a marine mammal veterinarian Dr. Dorgan, Kelly, Ph. Dorgan is an ecologist whose research focuses on interactions between infaunal organisms and marine sediments.

She is interested in the mechanics of worm burrowing as well as the impacts of worms on sediment structure and biogeochemical cycling. Current projects in the lab include how infauna affect the acoustic and geotechnical properties of sediments, how daily changes in oxygen affect animal behaviors and biogeochemical cycling, interactions between fauna and physical properties of sediments following a disturbance such as a major storm, and the roles of meiofaunal organisms in sediment ecosystems.

Dzwonkowski, Brian, Ph. Research interests lie in coastal physical oceanography things related to the structure and flow of water currents, tides, stratification and how physical processes impact biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem function.

Hoadley, Kenneth D. The transfer of energy and complex responses to climate perturbations within unique symbioses such as that between the dinoflagellate taxa Symbiodiniaceae and reef corals are of particular interest within the lab.

Krause, Jeffrey, Ph. Oregon St. Research focuses on how phytoplankton marine single-cell plants , especially diatoms, cycle energy and elements in the ocean, and the processes promoting the efficient transfer of their material to higher organisms e. Lehrter, John, Ph. Research focuses on understanding nutrient, organic matter, and oxygen cycling in coastal systems and how these cycles are related to aspects of water quality eutrophication, hypoxia, coastal acidification.

Research includes use of remotely sensed data and numerical modeling to aid coastal management. Powers, Sean, Ph. Research focuses on the ecology of marine fish and invertebrates, particularly those that support commercial and recreational fisheries. The ultimate goal of his research program is to provide scientifically sound information to direct the conservation and restoration efforts of marine fisheries and habitats.

Reese, Brandi Kiel, Ph. Research is interdisciplinary by bringing together Geology, Molecular Microbiology, and Geochemistry to provide a more integrated examination of aquatic and sediment biogeochemical cycling. Specifically specializes in combining state-of-the-art culture-independent molecular techniques including metatranscriptomics and metagenomics with high throughput culturing and advanced geochemical analysis to describe the total microbial environment. This systems biology approach to understanding microbial ecology has spanned marine and freshwater; shallow sediments within estuaries and coastal hypoxic zones; deeply buried continental mines and caves, and marine subsurface sediments through the International Ocean Discovery Program IODP.

Robertson, Alison, Ph. Research focuses on toxicity and health impacts of natural toxins and human pollutants in marine and freshwater systems, particularly sub-lethal effects on behavior, reproduction, immune system, and nervous system function.

Smee, Lee, Ph. Georgia Institute of Technology, Research focuses on chemical signaling between predators and prey communities, including work related to oyster reef ecology, mangrove encroachment, pesticide effects on blue crabs, and biogeography of seagrass communities in the Gulf of Mexico.

Titus, Ben Ph. Ohio State University, Research in the Titus Lab uses the iconic mutualisms from tropical coral reefs to understand the evolutionary and ecological processes that generate biodiversity in these tightly linked interactions. We combine field research, systematics, and genomic approaches to understand mutualisms at all levels of biological organization. Contact Us.
