Biological Oceanography

Description

The Biological Oceanography Program supports research in marine ecology broadly defined - relationships among marine organisms and their interactions with the environment of the sea. Projects that fall within the purview of the Program may focus on marine environments ranging from estuarine and coastal systems to the deep sea, and also include studies in the Great Lakes. Areas of research include ecosystem and biogeochemical processes; community and population ecology; behavioral, reproductive and life-history ecology; physiological and chemical ecology; and evolutionary ecology.
