Environmental Toxicology

Research in environmental toxicology address toxicological issues related to environmental quality and health. Primary areas of focus include water quality and its effect on wildlife and humans; environmental contaminants and food safety (e.g. mercury or PCB’s in fish or shellfish); environmental contaminants and gene expression in humans; the status and trends of fish and wildlife species, including threatened and endangered species; ecological risk assessment and policy; and chemical hazards in households such as lead.

Aquaculture

From applied studies on methods for rearing fish to fundamental research on mechanisms controlling reproduction and growth.

Conservation Biology

From marine waters to coastal estuaries to rivers, faculty employ various techniques to address critical research areas.

Ecology

Our research ranges from the habitat requirements of different populations to interactions among species.

Fisheries

Whether in North Carolina or Costa Rica, our faculty apply field research to the assessment and management of species and ecosystems

Wildlife

Studying evolutionary strategies for habitat exploitation and predator-prey interactions is just one of our many research areas.
