Welcome!

Gobler Laboratory Logo: Sunset above a wave and below a wave there is green algae, kelp, a mussel, a scallop, an oyster, a clam, a diatom, and a dinoflagellate.

The goals of our lab group are to:

1. Understand how anthropogenic activities (climate change, eutrophication, and the overharvest of fisheries) alter the ecological and biogeochemical functioning of coastal ecosystems

2. Discover means by which impaired functioning of coastal ecosystems may be mitigated

3. Share our understanding and discoveries with scientists, policymakers, managers, and the public.
