MARINE SCIENCES FACULTYBiological Oceanography & Marine BiologyAuster, Peter J. (PhD, National University of Ireland, Galway)Associate Research ProfessorScience Director, National Undersea Research CenterRESEARCH FOCUS:Ecology and conservation of fishes: how "landscape" variations mediate their distribution andabundance; how behavioral interactions mediate patterns of local diversity. From an appliedperspective, the research focuses on understanding the environmental impacts of fishing on and ondeveloping a scientific basis for using marine reserves as a conservation tool.CONTACT: Phone: (860) 405-9121 Email: peter.auster@uconn.edu Web Site: Big Mouth FishesFUNDING:NOAA $407,218 Deep Atlantic Stepping Stones: Linking NE ..

Kremer, James N. (PhD, University of Rhode Island)ProfessorRESEARCH FOCUS:Coastal systems ecology, physical-biological coupling, and modeling focusing on field studies andnumerical modeling of interactions among organisms and their environment in a variety of coastalecosystems to improve our understanding of how spatial and temporal patterns in the physical andchemical environment control productivity in marine systems.CONTACT:Phone: (860) 405-9027 Email: james.kremer@uconn.eduFUNDING:CT DEP/EPA $49,880 Eelgrass habitat and ecosystem metabolismNOAA/UR $64,000 Modeling tools to predict hypoxia/anoxia Co-PI’s: C.

Although the research is primarily relative to theautecology of single species, it also seeks to evaluate the results in the context of the ecosystem inwhich the animals live and the biogeochemical cycles of which they are a part.CONTACT:Phone: (860) 405-9140 Email: patricia.kremer@uconn.eduFUNDING:NSF $266,847 Salpa thompsoni in the southern ocean Co-PI’s: L.P. MadinLin, Senjie (PhD, SUNY Stony Brook)Associate ProfessorRESEARCH FOCUS:Molecular ecology of marine phytoplankton and heterotrophic dinoflagellates. Adopting from themedical application to detect cancer growth, we try to develop cell cycle and growth stagedependentmarkers for growth studies on phytoplankton. Research also involves dinoflagellategenome, transcriptome, mitochondrial and plastid genes as well as ribosomal RNA genes instudies of genetics, evolution, and ecology of various algae.CONTACT: Phone: (860) 405-9168 Email: senjie.lin@uconn.edu Web Site: phytoplankton.uconn.eduFUNDING:NSF $200,000 Constructing Robust Mult-gene phylogeny..
