Research
Interests: I am interested in the
production dynamics of marine macrophytes through organism-level physiological and growth responses to the environment (both
natural and disturbed). I have worked with seagrasses and macroalgae, the dominant
producers of food and habitat in estuarine and nearshore environments. I am also
applying basic principles to integrated aquaculture (coupling the culture of
marine plants and animals).
My other recent research interest focuses on the ecological impacts of the non-indigenous
Asian shore crab
(Hemigrapsus sanguineus),
introduced on the northeast U.S. coast and now an important and sometimes dominant member of the local intertidal community.
A new project will examine the mechanisms underlying the spread of a
non-native rhodophyte (Grateloupia turuturu, red seaweed) into Long
Island Sound. For more LIS info, see
