Graduate Student Profiles

Abigail's research investigates the cumulative impact of water temperature and anthropogenic noise on the settlement behavior of larval blue mussels (Mytilus edulis).

Jessica's research investigates the use of enriched live feed to introduce zebrafish to soybean meal in early life stages.

Maggie's research focuses on evaluating the effect of environmental stressors on Eastern oysters and potential impacts on aquaculture

Megan is using passive acoustic monitoring to explore the ways juvenile bats may echolocate differently than adults, and how those differences may impact acoustic energy used to observe changes in population size.

Natalie's research focuses on analyzing how antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) vary both specially and temporally in the Great Bay Estuary, as well as examining their presence in local oyster populations.

Dylan's research combines behavioral, immunohistochemical, and other analyses with rodent models to examine the impact of various experiences, such as aging, exercise, and stress, on cognition and neural architecture..

Kaila uses statistical and mechanistic modeling techniques to predict extreme temperature events and forecast best practices for ecosystem management.

Through Wilton's dissertation research, she will examine how the abiotic and biotic water quality parameters in the Great Bay Estuary in NH have changed in the past two to three decades.

The overarching aim of my research is to assess the conservation value of marine protected areas (MPAs), with a particular focus on their role in mitigating climate change and their susceptibility to global environmental changes.

Reece's research examines the recruitment dynamics of Atlantic White Cedar in a New Hampshire freshwater bog.

My research studies the effects of early exposure to high-temperature exposure on fish phenotypic plasticity.

My research focuses on understanding the physiological effect of water quality on Eastern oysters.
