Integrated Systems Ecology
Our lab works to distill and analyze complex ocean dynamics to inform decision-makers and promote sustainability and resiliency in the Gulf of Maine.
Conducting transdisciplinary research across biological, physical, and social sciences to deepen our understanding and deliver that information to the people who need it most.
Understanding how environmental conditions affect marine animals to inform ecosystem resource management
Characterizing coastal flood risk and translate science into tools and guidance for coastal resilience
Understanding human decisions regarding marine resource use to support sustainable and resilient coastal communities and economies
Providing ecological information for sustainable fisheries that can adapt to changing ocean conditions
Developing climate-resilient conservation and management strategies for fisheries and ecosystems
Transforming complex ocean data into accessible information and tools for marine stakeholders to improve decision-making
Our team of world-class scientists conducts marine research to better understand and steward the Gulf of Maine ecosystem — including people. Our labs combine their individual expertise to form a research program that covers the Gulf of Maine “from physics to fish sticks.”
Our lab works to distill and analyze complex ocean dynamics to inform decision-makers and promote sustainability and resiliency in the Gulf of Maine.
Our lab investigates ecological information about economically important fish, to ensure that fisheries can adapt to changes and operate at world-class levels.
Our lab seeks to understand the mechanisms behind our decisions and behaviors, and how they relate to coastal and marine resource uses.
The Coastal Dynamics Lab studies changes in mean and extreme coastal and estuarine water levels to support coastal management, flood forecasting and preparedness, and state …
The Biological Oceanography Lab studies the impact that environmental conditions and trophic interactions have on marine animals.
Our team of experts transforms a constant flow of complex ocean data into simplified, accessible information streams and visuals for a diverse range of stakeholders.
Our lab seeks to advance the scientific understanding of teaching and learning by thoughtfully inquiring into the contexts in which learning happens.
