I primarily use genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics to understand how microbial communities persist in nature. My group primarily focused on the microbial ecology of marine sediments and the deep sea. We also…

Professor Buskey's research interests in marine science have focused on studies of the behavioral ecology of marine zooplankton, and how sensory perception mediates behavioral adaptations for locating food resources…

Benthic marine plants, whether they include the kelp of the Polar Ocean or the seagrasses of the subtropical Gulf of Mexico, are extremely valuable resources to coastal ecosystems. They are critical components of…

Current research in the Erdner lab focuses on the genetics of bloom-forming algae, particularly toxic dinoflagellates. Examples of ongoing projects include:
- population genetics of toxic dinoflagellates…

Professor Fuiman's research has spanned a variety of topics within marine biology, all relating to the behavioral and physiological ecology of marine vertebrate animals. As Director of the University of Texas Marine…

Nitrogen cycling is important in coastal and estuarine ecosystems because nitrogen is transformed to a variety of forms, by autotrophic and heterotrophic processes in the water and sediments, and is a nutrient that…

As an organic biogeochemist, Dr. Liu is mainly interested in understanding the source, distribution and diagenesis of natural organic matter in the ocean. The cycling and preservation of natural organic matter are…

Environmental changes as a consequence of human activity, including changes in land use, land cover, and global warming.
