The Eastern Tropical Pacific: One of the World’s Game-Changing Locations
Author Bio(s)
Joshua Feingold, Ph.D., professor at NSU’s Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, completed his undergraduate studies at Trinity College and earned his master’s and doctoral degrees at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. His research addresses biological and ecological properties of coral reefs and coral communities in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean. His ongoing investigations focus on ecological responses of coral communities to impacts associated with El Niño-Southern Oscillation and subsequent long-term coral recovery in the Galapagos Islands, the distribution and abundance of fungiid corals, and descriptive ecology of Caribbean coral communities. His most recent research focusses on free-living coral populations in the southwest Gulf of California.
