Welcome
to the Howarth/ Marino Lab
Our research centers on the role of biogeochemical cycles and physical processes in structuring coastal marine ecosystems and on human perturbations of biogeochemical cycles, particularly that of the nitrogen cycle, at the ecosystem, regional, and global scales.
Much of the work in the Howarth/ Marino lab attempts both to address fundamental ecological questions and to contribute to practical issues of environmental management. For instance, our work not only describes fundamental differences on controls on N and P cycles in estuaries and freshwaters but contributes to managing eutrophication of coastal marine ecosystems.
