Key Investigators
Dr. Christopher D'Elia, Chair
Academic expertise includes nutrient dynamics in aquatic systems, estuarine ecology, coral reef ecology, algal/invertebrate symbiosis, science policy, math and science education, marine pollution, global climate change, and analytical chemistry.
Dr. James Gore, Co-Chair
Areas of specialization include aquatic ecology/Hydrology/Conservation, hydrodynamic and hydraulic change as an influence on the distribution of aquatic biota, habitat modeling and instream flow.
Dr. James Krest
Dr. Krest's research involves the use of natural and injected tracers to track the movement and mixing of water. He is currently using short-lived radioactive tracers to study the cycling of phosphorus in the Everglades.
Dr. Melanie Riedinger-Whitmore
My areas of specialization include: Aquatic ecology, wetland ecology, and paleolimnology of lakes in Florida, The Galapagos Islands, and mainland Ecuador.
Dr. Rebecca Johns
My work encompasses community organizing around economic or environmental issues, problems of cross-border labor organizing, globalization and the labor movement, gender and globalization, Native American cultural conflict.
Dr. Eric Steimle
Areas of specialization include aquatic ecology/Hydrology/Conservation, hydrodynamic and hydraulic change as an influence on the distribution of aquatic biota, habitat modeling and instream flow.
Dr. Mark Walters
The author of several highly acclaimed books, including A Shadow and a Song, the story of Florida’s dusky seaside sparrow’s extinction, Dr. Walters, a veterinarian, frequently writes about the connections between human health and the environment.
Dr. Barnali Dixon
I have extensive experience in the application and teaching of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, Global positioning Systems (GPS), geostatistics, fuzzy logic and neural networks for environmental modeling.
Dr. Kathy Carvalho-Knighton
My research interests include water quality, phytoremediation of heavy metals by aquatic species, remediation of organic and chlorinated compounds, and chemical education.
Dr. Donny Smoak
My research interests involve the use of naturally occurring radionuclides as tracers of water and sediments. He has worked in a variety of interesting places including Antarctica, Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela.
Dr. Toni Criss
My research interests involve Micro- and Macroeconomic Theory, International Economics, Natural Resources and Environment, Labor Economics, History of Economic Thought, Economics Education.
