BUMP Faculty Sarah Davies and Postdoc Associate Hannah Aichelman Featured in Molecular Ecology!
BUMP Faculty Sarah Davies and Postdoc Associate Hannah Aichelman featured in Molecular Ecology on a study investigating the response of coral hosts and their symbionts to thermal stress. Increasing ocean temperatures are causing dysbiosis between coral hosts and their symbionts. Previous work suggests that coral host gene expression responds more strongly to environmental stress compared […]
BUMP Faculty Ethan Deyle and Sucharita Gopal announced as 2024 Pardee Center Faculty Research Fellows!
The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future is pleased to announce its 2024 Faculty Research Fellows. With seed funding from the Pardee Center, the 12 new Faculty Research Fellows will launch one- to two-year interdisciplinary research projects. The projects were selected by an interdisciplinary committee of Pardee Center-affiliated faculty. Over the course […]
Multiple BUMP/Biology Faculty and Students Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society Biological Sciences
BUMP Faculty Sarah Davies along with Thomas Gilmore (Biology Professor), Maria Valadez-Ingersoll, Pablo Aguirre Carrión (Biology Graduate Students), Caoimhe Bodnar (Biology Undergraduate Student), Niharika Desai (Biology Alum) featured in Proceedings of the Royal Society Biological Sciences on a study on how food scarcity interacts with symbiosis in sea anemones. Mutualistic symbioses between cnidarians and photosynthetic algae […]
BUMP Faculty Wally Fulweiler Gives Invited Plenary at Ocean Sciences in New Orleans!
Boston University’s Wally Fulweiler speaks at Ocean Sciences 2024 in New Orleans On Tuesday February 20th, 2024, Professor Wally Fulweiler was a plenary speaker at the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2024. OSM24 is a conference for the ocean sciences community, welcoming a ‘diverse community of scientists, students, journalists, policymakers, educators and organizations who are working toward […]
BUMP Graduate Student Giovanna Nordio and Faculty Sergio Fagherazzi Featured in Water Resources Research!
BUMP Graduate Student Giovanna Nordio and Faculty Sergio Fagherazzi featured in Water Resources Research on storm surges and sea level rising in coastal forests. Read more here! Sea level rise and storm surges drive coastal forest retreat and salt marsh expansion. Both salinization and flooding control ecological zonation and ecosystem transition in coastal areas. Hydrological variables, […]
BUMP Faculty Zoe Hughes, Duncan Fitzgerald, Sergio Fagherazzi and Tansir Zaman Asik Featured in Geophysical Research Letters!
BUMP Faculty Zoe Hughes, Duncan Fitzgerald, Sergio Fagherazzi, and Grad student Tansir Zaman Asik featured in Geophysical Research Letters! Read more here. Shorelines face growing threats due to climate change and diminishing sand supply. Coastal headlands, common rocky features along coastlines, are crucial in shaping hydrodynamics and sediment transport. Yet, the influence of future climate […]
BUMP Faculty Duncan Fitzgerald and Zoe Hughes Published in Communications Earth & Environment!
BUMP Faculty Duncan Fitzgerald and Zoe Hughes published in Communications Earth & Environment! Read more here! Coastal saltmarshes keep pace with sea-level rise through in-situ production of organic material and incorporation of allochthonous inorganic sediment. Here we report rates of vertical accretion of 16 new sediment cores collected proximal to platform edges within saltmarshes located behind […]
BUMP Director Pete Buston Featured in The Brink!
Pete Buston, director of BUMP was featured in The Brink on an article about his research of the social dynamics of Clownfish! It is currently on the BU homepage and can also be found here: https://www.bu.edu/articles/2024/clownfish-studying-their-complex-lives-and-anemone-homes/
BUMP Faculty Robinson “Wally” Fulweiler Featured in Biogeochemistry!
BUMP Faculty Robinson “Wally” Fulweiler was featured in Biogeochemistry. Read more here! Di-nitrogen (N2) fixation rates, and the diversity of the organisms that fix N2, remain largely unconstrained in the aquatic landscapes or aquascapes (e.g., lakes, wetlands, streams, rivers, estuaries) between land and sea. As a result, we lack a mechanistic understanding of the controls […]
BUMP Faculty Sergio Fagherazzi Featured in Sedimentology!
BUMP Faculty Sergio Fagherazzi featured in Sedimentology. Read more here! Deltas are crucial for land building and ecological services due to their ability to store mineral sediment, carbon and potential pollutants. A decline in suspended sediment discharge in large rivers caused by the construction of mega-dams might imperil deltaic flats and wetlands. However, there has […]
