My Fulbright research aims to examine the impacts of disturbances such as storms, droughts, and fires on the coastal ocean. At UTS, I will compare existing microbial coastal time series from both the US and Australia to gain a better understand of global responses to disturbance

Dana is an Associate Professor of Microbial Ecology at the Duke University Marine Lab. Her research focus is on understanding the ecology of marine microbes through examination of their genes and lifestyles. Her lab is focuses on microbial interactions with environmental factors and other organisms, as well as how these interactions and microbial-mediated biogeochemistry will be affected by global change.
