We will hold our annual graduate student recruitment event January 21-24, 2016 to which we invite a selection of our applicants. For more information on our program and on how to apply see the Prospective Graduate Students (/prospective-graduate-students) pages  
Successful Water Quality Monitoring with Satellite Remote Sensing By Dr. Bridget Seegers NASA Goddard Space Flight Center bridget.n.seegers@nasa.gov Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are a water quality issue that negatively impact ecosystem and human health and have wide reaching recreational and economic consequences. The Cyanobacteria Assessment Network (CyAN) project is an interagency (US-EPA, NASA, NOAA, USGS) effort that uses satellite remote…
Dr. Yuting Zhu is a Postdoctoral Investigator for Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. 
Dr. Marchetti is an Associate Professor in the Earth, Marine, and Environmental Sciences Department at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Marchetti Lab combines physiological and molecular approaches in laboratory isolates and natural communities to investigate how plankton are affected by their environment and in turn, influence ocean biogeochemistry and ecosystem dynamics. Particular interests include studying trace metals, such…
Peng Lin is an Assistant Research Scientist in Marine Chemistry and Environmental Radiochemistry, from Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, University of Georgia since 2023, with a focus on biogeochemistry of trace elements and radionuclides in the environment, carbon and nutrients cycling, and geochemical modeling for low-level nuclear waste disposal in grout. He graduated as a Ph.D. student in Marine Chemistry from Xiamen University, China in…
Dr. Elizabeth A Brasseale is a Postdoctoral Coastal Ocean Modeler in the College of the Environment at the University of Washington.  "I’m an oceanographer who specializes in computer models of coastal ocean circulation. My research includes inland waterways (such as estuaries, inlets, and coastal seas) and extends from the surf zone to the continental slope. I love coastal oceanography because the caost is the part of the ocean that people…
Dr. Mercedes Pozo Buil is an Assistant Project Scientist in the Institute of Marine Sciences of US Santa Cruz and NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center. "I am originally from Spain, and I came to the U.S. for graduate school. I obtained my Ph.D from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2017. Previously, I received my M.S. in Physical Oceanography from the University of Cádiz, Spain. My research interests are in ocean modeling and large-…
Dr. Nicholas Foukal is an Assistant Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the Department of Physical Oceanography. Below you will find an abstract for his lecture.  Title: Origins, pathways, connectivity, and fate of the fresh coastal circulation around Greenland   Abstract: The coastal circulation around Greenland transports enough fresh water to significantly alter the North Atlantic circulation including the climate-…
Dr. Peng is an Assistant Professor at the University of Carolina in the School of the Earth, Ocean, & Environment College of Arts and Sciences. He specializes in studying the way microbes interact among themselves and with the physical world. He will be presenting, "Uncovering the Role of Fungi in Nitrogen and Carbon Cycling in Marine Environments".  "Microorganisms (bacteria, archaea, fungi, and protists) form complex relationships…
Dr. Walter Torres is a Postdoctoral researcher for the University of Washington, Applied Physics Laborartory. Dr. Walter Torres studies the dynamics of wave-driven flows such as rip currents and reef pass jets using theory, numerical modeling, and observations.
