The study of the ecology of marine communities that live on or near the rocks and sediments of the ocean floor. (Crab photo courtesy biological oceanographer Lisa Levin.) CMBC promotes ...
We use sequence-based approaches, flow cytometry, modeling, and other techniques to explore the structure and function of microbial communities. CalCOFI is a long-term, interdisciplinary, ...
Understanding the ecology, biogeochemical environment, marine conditions, and societal impacts of nearshore environments ranging from wetlands and estuaries to the edge of the continental shelf.
Phylogenetics, systematics, and biogeography deal with the identifying, classifying, and understanding the relationships among organisms, including their geographical extent. Methods range from ...
The interface between marine chemistry and marine biology, ranging from natural products chemistry and biotechnology to biogeochemistry and biochemistry relating to marine systems. Many of our ...
Biochemical and physiological mechanisms of adaptation of organisms to the marine environment. Special emphasis is on biological responses to temperature, salinity, carbon dioxide, pH and bicarbonate ...
We analyze the interactions among marine ecology and biodiversity, fisheries, socioeconomics, climate change, and more. CalCOFI is a long-term, interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral ecosystem research ...
Studying the physiology and ecology of whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals through methods ranging from molecular ecology to tracking the movements of individuals and populations using ...
The study of the processes by which marine organisms grow and how factors such as temperature, nutrition, microbes, predators, and hormones influence development. (Green fluorescent amphioxus photo by ...
We analyze the interactions among marine ecology and biodiversity, fisheries, socioeconomics, climate change, and more. We use sequence-based approaches, flow cytometry, modeling, and other techniques ...
The ecology of chemical defenses, communication, and biosynthesis. Subjects range from how available chemical resources affect ecosystem processes to how organisms produce chemical compounds. Research ...
