A. Murat Eren (Marine Biology Laboratory)

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…

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.

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…

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-…

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…

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…

Dr. Arnoldo Valle-Levinson from the University of Florida, Civil and Coastal Engineering will present a seminar titled:  What are those "wiggles" in storm surges? Storm surges on the eastern seaboard of the United States can be distorted by semidiurnal perturbations, "semidiurnal wiggles," that arise from tide-storm interactions. In the Gulf of Mexico, surges can also get the "wiggles." In this case,they arise from atmospheric forcing…

Dr. Lindsey Fields, a Postdoctoral Research Associate working with Dr. Mandy Joye's lab in Marine Sciences here at UGA will present a seminar titled: "Nitrate reduction in cold seep habitats along the Gulf of Mexico deep slope" The seminar will be Monday Dec 8 at 12:20 pm in Marine Sciences Rm 261.  The seminar will also be broadcast to the SkIO Conference Room.  

Dr. Andrew Burns, a postdoctoral research associate working with Dr. Moran will present a seminar titled "Control of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) metabolism in the roseobacter Ruegeria pomeroyi" on Monday Dec 1 at 12:20pm in the Marine Sciences Building Room 261.
