Marine Bioinorganic Chemistry and Metallobiochemistry.

Main research interests: tropical climates, monsoon systems, mountain meteorology, fire weather regimes, and extremes.

Chris’ research addresses natural resource and environmental management under uncertainty and incomplete property rights.

Molecular mechanisms of self/non-self recognition in non-vertebrates; characterization of stem cells and development processes underlying regeneration and aging.

Marine Geophysics, Seismology, Tectonophysics, Inverse Theory.

Marine ecology, community ecology, species interactions.

Environmental microbiology, water quality, pollutants, soils, urban and protected areas.

Geochemistry and Igneous Petrology.

Bruce is an ecological theoretician and modeler who applies population ecology to problems in conservation and fisheries management.

The mission of our research group is to reveal the role of infectious diseases in ecosystems. We investigate parasite ecology, disease ecology, food web dynamics, ecology and evolution of infectious strategies, and control of human parasites.

Limnology and Coastal Oceanography, with particular emphasis on physical-biological coupling.

Understanding the ecology of communities and ecosystems in a rapidly changing world.

Ecological processes in lakes, wetlands and streams and their catchments throughout the world.

Uses mathematics, experiments, and field observations to understand how metabolic interactions between species shape the structure and function of ecological communities.
