Our program emphasizes testing and refining general ecological theory and concepts in marine systems with the goal that answers will: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research spans the disciplines of biology, ecology, physics, economics, mathematics, statistics, and chemistry. Graduates become future leaders in academia, research and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
