Only one otherMBL scientist, Shinya Inoué, currently holds thisdesignation.Hobbie has sustained an impressive array ofresearch and outreach activities for over 40 years.His research has attempted to identify the factorscontrolling decomposition and productivitywithin aquatic ecosystems. His current researchinterests center on the role of microbes in freshwater, estuarine, and soilecosystems. Field sites for this work are located at the Plum Island estuary onMassachusetts’ North Shore and the Toolik Lake Field Station on the NorthSlope of Alaska. Both are part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)’s 26sites across North America and Antarctica designated as Long-Term EcologicalResearch (LTER) Programs. Hobbie helped establish the Arctic LTER site and isthe director of the Arctic LTER project, which focuses on the ecology of tundra,streams, and lakes at Toolik Lake.Hobbie received a B.A. from Dartmouth College, an M.A. from the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley, and a Ph.D. from Indiana University. Following a researchassociate position at the University of California, Davis, and a postdoctoralfellowship at Uppsala University in Sweden, he held a faculty position at NorthCarolina State University from 1965 to 1976, starting as an assistant professorand eventually advancing into full Professor rank. Hobbie joined the scientificstaff of the MBL’s Ecosystems Center in 1976. He served as director of the centerfrom 1984 to 1989 and now serves as its co-director with Jerry Melillo.In addition to his work at the MBL, Hobbie was president of the AmericanSociety of Limnology and Oceanography from 1984 to 1986, served on theBoard of Directors for the Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. from 1989 to2001, and served on the U.S. Arctic Research Commission from 1996 to 2004. Heis currently a member of the NSF’s LTER Program’s Executive Committee.The American Society of Limnology and Oceanography recognized Hobbie asan outstanding scientist when he was awarded the society’s Hutchinson Awardfor research for revolutionizing the understanding of the importance of bacteriain natural waters. In 1988, he received the prestigious Tage Erlander VisitingProfessor Award from the Royal Academy of Science, which supported a year oflectures and research throughout Sweden. In 2005, he was awarded the OdumLifetime Achievement Award from the Estuarine Research Federation.Hobbie has published more than 140 research articles and has edited severalbooks. His 1975 paper with Ralph Daley, “Direct Counts of Aquatic Bacteria bya Modified Epifluorescence Technique,” is one of the most cited papers in allof ecology. He is a noted author whose writings cover a wide range of topicsranging from arctic limnology to coastal ocean biogeochemistry and microbialactivity in oceans, lakes, and soils.
