Each year, the faculty seminar at the 小黄鸭视频鈥檚 College of Marine Science offers an opportunity for faculty members to share their latest research with colleagues, students, and the community. This year鈥檚 seminar continued the tradition, with faculty presenting high-impact research that carries local and global significance.
Presentation topics ranged from the effects of oxygenation on nitrogen cycling in the Chesapeake Bay to observations about invasive species of foraminifera in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The seminar also featured an overview of the Spawning Habitat & Early-Life Linkages to Fisheries (SHELF) project, which is focused on collecting and analyzing fish eggs off Florida鈥檚 west coast to better understand marine ecosystems and the dynamics of fish populations.
This year marked the first seminar presentations by a few of the college鈥檚 recent arrivals: Physical oceanographer Yao Fu, chemical oceanographer Weiyi Tang, and geological oceanographer Daniel Lowry.
Presentations included:
- Weiyi Tang: How will marine nitrogen cycle respond to ocean deoxygenation?
- Maggi Brisbin: Microbial interactions with the toxigenic HAB dinoflagellate, Pyrodinium bahemenese var. bahemense
- Tim Conway: Un-muddying the waters 鈥� using Fe isotopes to constrain the sedimentary Fe source
- Yao Fu: Interannual variability of the North Atlantic subpolar overturning
- Christopher Stallings: SHELF: Spawning Habitat & Early-Life Linkages to Fisheries
- Pamela Hallock Muller: Might shell production by 鈥渋nvasive鈥� Amphistegina lobifera locally ameliorate consequences of sea-level rise in warming Mediterranean coastal waters?
- Steven Murawski: The Tampa Bay Surveillance Project: A comprehensive approach to assessing contaminants of emerging concern
- Daniel Lowry: Multi-dimensional exploration of the Ross Ice Shelf: A proposal NZ-US joint Antarctic research program
