We study the emergent effects of global change
Research in the Kroeker Lab is motivated by a fundamental interest in the drivers of change in marine communities and a desire to improve our ability to forecast and manage the emergent effects of environmental change and human activities in dynamic, complex ecosystems.
community ecology
Our research is conceptually grounded in community ecology. We use field and laboratory experiments, synthesis, and modeling to explore the feedbacks between ecosystems and the environment.
engagement
We also choose to work on issues that are relevant for management, policy, and decision making. We are committed to interdisciplinary collaboration and engagement with decision makers to provide the science needed for solutions.
JUSTICE
Any strategies to address global change’s impacts must center diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. We are committed to addressing inequities in science and society to uplift diverse voices and perspectives in global change biology.
