Zooplankton processes in the ocean Climate change and the ocean
mdagg@lumcon.edu
Dr.   Rodney Powell Dr.  Rodney Powell
Trace metal speciation (colloids, redox state, organic complexation) and how it affects metal cycling and bioavailability in estuarine and coastal systems.
Dr.   Nancy Rabalais Dr.  Nancy Rabalais
Biological oceanography-continental shelf ecosystems influenced by large rivers, benthic ecology, distribution and dynamics of hypoxia, eutrophication, environmental effects of habitat alterations.

Dr. Brian Roberts Dr. Brian Roberts
Aquatic ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry: I am interested in understanding how human activities affect the capacity of aquatic ecosystems along the continuum from headwater streams and lakes to large rivers, estuaries, and open-ocean ecosystems to process and retain nutrients and energy.

Dr.   Paul Sammarco Dr.  Paul Sammarco
Larval dispersal and recruitment processes in corals, particularly as they pertain to the continuum from highly localized dispersal and recruitment to distant dispersal.
