Dissertation Defense - "A Tale of Two Scales: Insights into the impacts of benthic fauna on nutrient cycling"

Abstract: Global biodiversity has been decreasing globally and at times at an unprecedented rate. The alarming loss of keystone species can at times outpace research documenting their effects on their ecosystems. Making the link between benthic communities and ecosystem functions requires not only extensive field research, but also  an understanding of the mechanisms that link fauna and their effects on nutrient cycling.…


Seminar: Role of Iron in the Remineralization of Carbon in Continental Margin Sediments


Seminar: Antarctic Density Stratification and the Strength of the Circumpolar Current during the Last Glacial Maximum


Seminar: Microbial marker genes, and metagenomes: Tales of subtle nucleotide variation

A. Murat Eren (Marine Biology Laboratory)


Seminar: Vegetation and phytoplankton patterns in coastal ecosystems revealed with remote sensing and survey-based classification algorithms

Abstract: This presentation will review: (1) the biophysical basis for detection of coastal primary producers (phytoplankton, microbenthic algae, and emergent wetland vegetation), (2) optical sensor technologies (current and soon to be available), (3) predictive algorithms for producer biomass and/or pigments based on field surveys segued with close-range, airborne, and satellite scale observations, and (4) selected case…


Thesis Defense: Drivers of Groundwater Flow at a Back Barrier Island - Marsh Transect in Coastal Georgia

Jonathan Ledoux, a graduate student in Dr. Christof Meile's lab, will present his MS thesis titled “Drivers of Groundwater Flow at a Back Barrier Island - Marsh Transect in Coastal Georgia” on Friday, June 19th at 1:00pm in Marine Sciences Rm 261. Please join us for this event.


Seminar: Application of Biomarkers and Compound Specific Stable Isotopes for the Assessment of Hydrology as a Driver of Organic Matter Dynamics in the Everglades Ecosystem - Postponed

Dr. Ding He (Oliver) a post doctoral researcher working with Dr. Medeiros in the  Department of Marine Sciences will present a seminar titled:  Application of Biomarkers and Compound Specific Stable Isotopes for the Assessment of Hydrology as a Driver of Organic Matter Dynamics in the Everglades Ecosystem: The Everglades is a sub-tropical coastal wetland characterized among others by its hydrological features and deposits of peat…


Seminar: Model investigation of interannual variability of the Labrador Sea and of fate of freshwater from Greenland ice sheet melting

Dr. Hao Luo a post doctoral researcher working with Dr. Castelao in the  Department of Marine Sciences will present a seminar titled:  Model investigation of interannual variability of the Labrador Sea and of fate of freshwater from Greenland ice sheet melting The Labrador Sea is one of the few sites in the world ocean where deep convection occurs. Understanding what drives the interannual variability in the Labrador Sea has far-…


Seminar: Life in the deep shale biosphere: What goes down, may come up

Dr. Kelly Wrighton from the Ohio State University, Department of Microbiology will present a seminar titled: Life in the deep shale biosphere: What goes down, may come up Hydraulic fracturing, colloquially known as “fracking”, is employed for effective gas and oil recovery in deep black shales. This process injects organisms and liquids from the surface into the deep subsurface (~2500 m), exposing microorganisms to high pressures, elevated…


Seminar: Insights into phytoplankton evolution and ecology through environmental genomics: individual genes to community transcriptomics

Dr. Adrian Marchetti from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Department of Marine Sciences will present a seminar titled, Insights into phytoplankton evolution and ecology through environmental genomics: individual genes to community transcriptomics.   Phytoplankton are responsible for a large majority of global primary productivity and are the base of many aquatic food webs.  Their evolution is…
