Part 1: The Marine Science Center is highlighting faculty who are advancing scientific knowledge and removing barriers for the next generation of women in STEM.

Each bivalve species uniquely contributes to filter water and deliver organic matter to the sediments, promoting the carbon and nitrogen cycles in an ecosystem.

What happens far upstream can affect marine life at the end of the line in unanticipated ways, as evidenced by recent research on a Florida oyster reef.

David Kimbro, a marine and environmental science professor at Northeastern University, has solved the mystery of why reefs in Florida inlets were experiencing large numbers of oyster loss. Drought and subsequent high salt levels in water led to a population spike in one of the oysters’ main predators: conchs.

Jonathan Grabowski has written a piece for Wired UK.

A recent faculty publication examines the unique roles played by two co-occurring foundation species in mangrove forests, revealing that not all foundation species are created equal.
