Research in my lab, the Cold Ocean Benthic Ecology Lab (COBEL), investigates factors and processes governing the structure and function of shallow, marine benthic ecosystems in subarctic and cold temperate regions, while contributing novel approaches to the study of these ecosystems at meaningful scales. By integrating perspectives from ecology, oceanography, phycology, physiology, remote sensing, GIS technology, and modeling, my group currently addresses fundamental and applied questions involving invertebrates and seaweeds.
