Who We Are

Principal Investigator
 

Dr. Ruth H. Carmichael PhD.

Curriculum Vitae


My research focuses on marine ecosystem responses; understanding relationships between organisms and their environment and specific biological and physiological responses to environmental change.  In particular, I am interested in the mechanisms by which anthropogenic-driven perturbations such as nutrient enrichment and pollution, the presence of coastal structures, global climate change, or harvest pressure affect coastal habitats and species.  I give special focus to commercially important coastal bivalves, manatees, and horseshoe crabs.
