Oysters as Biogeochemical Engineers:
How do oyster habitats (e.g., reefs, aquaculture) alter benthic metabolism? Do oysters increase nitrogen removal via denitrification? Can we use oysters to mitigate excess nitrogen? |
New Lab Directions:
Can we develop low cost CO2 sensor packages? Can we develop a share model to improve access? Are macroalgae a host for pathogenic Vibrio? Changing primary production in Narragansett - exactly how much macroalgae is there? |
