I just started a Postdoc fellowship with the Smithsonian Institutions MarineGEO program. Over the next two years, I will be investigating the effects of community composition and ecosystem metabolism on nearshore marine carbonate chemistry dynamics. I will be making comparative observations in the MidAtlantic, U.S. west coast, Caribbean, and Antartica to learn more about how local ecological processes may affect ocean acidification. I’ll also be looking for a permanent job.
