Wachapreague Bio Blitz 2018: Tell Me More
Просмотров 2476 лет назад
“We still depend on the ocean and need to understand how it works” - Emmett Duffy, Director of the Marine Global Earth Observatory The 2018 Bio Blitz in Wachapreague, VA, yielded over 380 unique species, some of which were completely new species discoveries. Take a look into the processing of a sample, from the water to the museum. Thank you to our summer intern, Carmen Camp for creating this v...
Invisible Drivers: Microbial foundation communities
Просмотров 436 лет назад
Dr. Holly Sweat is the 2017 MarineGEO Postdoctoral Fellow based at the Smithsonian Marine Station in Florida. She studies the microbial communities that first colonize surfaces and encourage settlement of animal larvae that develop into larger fouling communities. Her work takes her all over, including the Virginia Institute of Marine Science's Eastern Shore Laboratory in Wachapreague, Virginia...

The Sounds of Biodiversity
Просмотров 4327 лет назад
Biodiversity, the living organisms all around us, can be a tricky quantity to measure. How can we count all the species on a busy reef with limited time and resources? The answer may be by listening to them. MarineGEO Postdoctoral Fellow Erica Staaterman is using cutting-edge technology to record and analyze the noises marine organisms make to tell us who they are and what they are doing.
Carbon Sinks in the Ocean
Просмотров 9307 лет назад
Carbon released into the atmosphere by human activities will have important consequences for our ocean and our world. Understanding where and how carbon cycles through the environment will help people make decisions about management and conservation of our marine resources. To answer the "where" and "how" of coastal carbon cycling, MarineGEO Postdoctoral Fellow Lisa Schile is employing the most...
Biodiversity Buffers

Coastal marine environments are impacted by human disturbance. Dock pilings allow MarineGEO researchers to study these impacts in a standardized way around the world to understand whether biodiversity serves to stabilize ecosystems in the face of disturbance. MarineGEO Postdoctoral Fellow Simon Brandl looks at the hidden diversity of little fishes and invertebrates on dock pilings to see if spe...
Living on the Edge: Mangroves
Просмотров 16 тыс.8 лет назад
Mangroves provide essential habitat and coastline protection but are under threat. In addition to deforestation, climate change is altering mangrove forest habitats and causing important consequences for marine organisms and the humans who rely on them for sustenance and economic stability. MarineGEO scientists are studying mangrove expansion due to warming winters and the threats to this valua...
MarineGEO: A Global Research Network
Просмотров 3958 лет назад
The marine environment is a complex system with a deep past, fragile present, and uncertain future. MarineGEO integrates scientific disciplines through a collaborative network to understand how coastal marine biodiversity is distributed across the globe. By investing in experiments and long-term observations, MarineGEO aims to understand how and why this biodiversity changes over time so societ...
Marine Urbanization
Просмотров 6598 лет назад
MarineGEO scientists recognize human-made habitats as rich sources of biodiversity as well as hotspots for invasive species. Marine habitats made by humans like docks and pilings are one of the most common habitats in the nearshore ocean, but they often have been overlooked in ecological studies. Using publicly available video technology, MarineGEO takes inventory and monitors these ubiquitous ...
