Use a combination of field observations, field and laboratory experiments, computer simulation modeling, and geochemical tracer and molecular tools to test assumptions and develop a mechanistic understanding of animal behavior, population connectivity and ecosystem dynamics. Study systems range from tropical to temperate, and shallow estuarine to deep-sea. Study species range from marine and freshwater fish to macro-invertebrates, especially crabs, lobster and bivalves. Research spans the disciplines of biology, ecology, physics, economics, mathematics, statistics, and chemistry. Graduates become future leaders in academia, research and management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Dr. David Eggleston is an&nbsp;Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor&nbsp;at NC State University, and also serves as Director of NC State\u2019s marine laboratory, the Center for Marine Sciences and Technology (CMAST), located in Morehead City.
