potential student’s research would focus on using stable isotope techniques to investigate nitrogen (e.g. ammonium, nitrate, dissolved organic nitrogen (DON)) loading into Texas coastal waters (e.g. bays, estuaries, Gulf of Mexico). The project will emphasize
investigation of DON sources and dynamics in coastal waters. The project’s overall objective is to aid harmful algal bloom (HAB) mitigation strategies by understanding how DON and other nutrients are sustaining HABs in coastal waters. Potential students should
be highly self-motivated and have a strong background in chemistry with extensive laboratory experience. PhD applicants should have an MS or a very strong undergraduate research record. The project relies heavily on stable isotope techniques so experience
with these techniques is desired but not necessary.
