New Research Projects

Projects found here are of a shorter duration than others and offer new opportunities for collaborations and potential for a new major focus area.  All projects meet one or more of our research goals.  We encourage researchers at SIO and other UCSD department to submit proposals for new projects to lead scientist Jeremy Jackson

 

CMBC Research Goals

Patterns of Biodiversity: assessing species richness along gradients of human pressure; significance of food webs in biodiversity; and relationship biodiversity - ecosystem services - human health

Threats to Marine Biodiversity: status of marine ecosystems; impacts of past anthropogenic threats;  impacts of climate change and continuing anthropogenic impacts; and patterns of current and future extinctions.

Conservation of Marine Biodiversity: protocol for selecting priority conservation areas; experimental restoration; and modeling recovery
