Our lab works at the intersection of coral reef ecosystems and the coastal ocean. We conduct interdisciplinary research focused on understanding the spatial and temporal fluxes of nutrients and planktonic resources to reefs along the Red Sea. This project seeks a VSRP student to contribute to our monthly oceanographic sampling campaigns and process samples in the lab for biogeochemical analyses. Your will gain experience across a range of field and laboratory techniques and work closely with PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in the Ecological Oceanography Lab.

The outcomes for this project will be focused around contributions to recurrent oceanographic sampling and supporting the laboratory analyses of corals across multiple projects.
