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  
Research Interests: As a fisheries oceanographer, my goal is to conduct research that will advance our understanding of how climate change affects fish populations and provide knowledge for the effective management of living marine resources.  More specifically, my recent research has focused principally on the phenology of fish reproduction.  Phenology refers to the study of seasonal, biological cycles and how they are influenced by weather and…
Thinking beyond carbon to better understand marine organic matter reactivity: Sources and distribution of non-volatile halogenated organic matter in the ocean Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of Earth’s major carbon reservoirs and is arguably its most dynamic. On the other hand, radiocarbon measurements suggest that majority of marine DOM is stored for millennia in the deep ocean as refractory dissolved organic carbon (RDOC). Thus,…
Please join us tomorrow (Wednesday), February 15 at 12:40 pm for a seminar by Dr. Jimmy Nelson, a faculty candidate in Marine Conservation and Sustainability in the Department of Marine Sciences. Details are below.   Title: Understanding Ecosystem Function to Enhance Conservation Outcomes   Abstract: Coastal systems provide a suite of vital functions that support natural and human communities. Humans frequently take for granted and exploit these…
Please join us Monday February 27 at 12:40 pm for a seminar by Dr. Vadim Karatayev, a faculty candidate in Marine Conservation and Sustainability in the Department of Marine Sciences. Details are below.   Title: Integrating physical, biological, and societal drivers of resilience in large ecosystems   Abstract: A grand conservation challenge in our changing world is to avert the collapse of species and ecosystems.

Please join us Monday April 24 at 12:40 pm for the UGA Department of Marine Sciences seminar. Dr. Gabe Kooperman, an Assistant Professor in the UGA Department of Geography, will present his work entitled Investigating processes that impact in the hydrological cycle and climate extremes in Earth system models. If anyone would like to meet with the speaker after the talk, please email Dr. Miller to set up a meeting (bmiller@uga.edu).   Abstract:…
Please join us Monday, February 13 at 12:40 pm for a seminar by Dr. Shelby Ziegler, a faculty candidate in Marine Conservation and Sustainability in the Department of Marine Sciences. Details are below.   Title: Data-driven marine conservation: coastal habitats and fisheries   Abstract: Structured coastal habitats can mediate faunal community structure and ecosystem function. Most coastal habitats exist as components of functionally connected…
