Biography

Dr. Marino is an aquatic ecologist seeking to better understand how environmental context mediates species interactions in food webs. His research addresses freshwater systems ranging from small ephemeral ponds to the Laurentian Great Lakes. He uses a range of tools including experiments, observational studies, and modeling. Results of work in the lab have implications for confronting major challenges to sustainable freshwater systems, including emerging infectious diseases, harmful algal blooms, and invasive species.
