Research |
| Mark Abrahams |
|
Dean of Science |
|
Research focuses on
predator-prey interactions, how they are affected
by the physical environment, and their impact on
habitat quality. |
| Don Deibel |
|
Professor (Research) |
|
Research focuses on the
population dynamics and role in the marine
carbon cycle of gelatinous zooplankton, using
biochemical and video analysis tools, particularly
in the Arctic and Newfoundland waters. |
| William R. Driedzic |
|
Professor - Canada Research Chair in Marine Bioscience |
|
Research focuses
on the impact of environmental challenges, especially
low oxygen and temperature extremes,
on metabolic pathways. |
| Ian Fleming |
|
Professor |
|
Research focuses on
evolutionary and behavioural ecology, with an
emphasis on fish breeding systems, life history
diversity, phenotypic plasticity and survival strategies
in the context of conservation and management. |
| Garth L. Fletcher |
|
Head |
|
Research focuses on
antifreeze proteins, their physiological regulation
and mechanisms of action, and their diversity,
evolution and potential economic value in the
field of biotechnology. |
| Patrick Gagnon |
|
Assistant Professor |
|
Research 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 |
| A. Kurt Gamperl |
|
Professor |
|
Research examines
how environmental factors (e.g. hypoxia,
temperature, domestication, pollutants etc.)
affect fish physiology, and whether the impacted
fishes have the capacity to compensate for/
adapt to these changes. |
| Iain J. McGaw |
|
Associate Professor |
|
Research investigates the digestive physiology and
movement of crustaceans and how animals balance
the demands of several systems during
environmental perturbations. |
| Annie Mercier |
|
Associate Professor |
|
Research focuses
on the reproductive biology, larval ecology,
feeding, and symbiotic relationships of marine
benthic invertebrates from tropical and cold
waters, and from the deep-sea |
| Chris C. Parrish |
|
Professor (Research) |
|
Research focuses on
the production, transport, fate and effects of
lipids and other organic compounds in food
webs. |
| Matthew L Rise |
|
Associate Professor -Canada Research Chair in Marine Biotechnology |
|
Research uses functional genomic tools and techniques to study the genes and molecular pathways involved in aquatic animal growth, development, and responses to pathogens and environmental stressors (e.g.
pollutants, temperature stress)
|
| Richard B. Rivkin |
|
University Research Professor |
|
Research focuses on
various aspects of biological oceanography,
phytoplankton and microbial physiology and
ecology and oceanic biogeochemistry in
diverse oceanic regions. |
| David C. Schneider |
|
Professor |
|
Research addresses
the problem of spatial scale in the environmental
sciences, with an emphasis on spatial scaling as
it has developed in oceanography, ecology, and
aquaculture and fisheries. |
| Paul Snelgrove |
|
Professor - Canada Research Chair Boreal and Cold Ocean Systems |
|
Research focuses
on the links between fish and invertebrate
larval behaviour and transport, and how they
contribute to recruitment success, population
connectivity, and spatial patterns in coastal
environments. |
| Joseph S. Wroblewski |
|
Professor |
|
Research is
investigating the potential effects of climate
change on the oceanography of coastal
Labrador and on the ecology and management
of nearshore fisheries. |
