About Roman
I am an ecologist with varied research interests. These include mapping and characterizing sea floor communities and understanding how sea floor structure affects the ecological dynamics and biodiversity of these environments, applying landscape approaches to ecological dynamics in salt marshes and the sea floor, how climate change may be affecting salt marsh habitats and biota, feeding behaviors of fish on coral patch reefs, and macroalgal successional dynamics on patch reefs. I am also working on applying low level high resolution imagery collected by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) to collect spatial data for both the salt marsh and intertidal mudflat research being conducted in my lab.
