Emphasis:
- teaching undergraduate marine and environmental science courses; ecophysiology of aquatic plants and harmful algae; toxin production in HAB species; community outreach and education
My research interests understanding the ecophysiology of problematic primary producers (e.g., invasive species, harmful algae, etc.) and how that drives their biology, ecology, and toxicology. I am also interested in understanding environmental drivers influencing the occurrence and distribution of these organisms throughout the coastal mixing zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Lastly, I am interested in community outreach and education to effectively communicate the important work we do.
