Understanding the ecology, biogeochemical environment, marine conditions, and societal impacts of nearshore environments ranging from wetlands and estuaries to the edge of the continental shelf.

The study of the interactions between the oceans and land and the processes that shape coastal features and transport sediment and other materials near coastlines. Specializing in estuarine and ...

We analyze the interactions among marine ecology and biodiversity, fisheries, socioeconomics, climate change, and more. We use sequence-based approaches, flow cytometry, modeling, and other techniques ...
