Graduate Students
Matt Pierce (PhD)
Matt is interested in the relationships between the biotic and abiotic factors in coastal salt marshes. He is currently focused on how organisms move within and between wetlands and their interactions with Spartina alterniflora. His previous work focused on zooplankton community composition and cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms in freshwater reservoirs.
Eliot Hall (PhD)
Eliot’s research interests include how behavioral and ecological mechanisms influence population and community dynamics. She uses integrative approaches to study marine and estuary systems.
