| I am currently a Post-doctoral Research Associate at Duke University in the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences. My research focuses on quantifying the spatial and temporal patterns/dynamics in marine population connectivity across the Tropical Pacific using spatial modeling techniques from landscape ecology and graph/network theory. These larval dispersal networks are evaluated to assign conservation value to individual reef sites with respect to various regional and local connectivity properties, climate change predictions, and current conservation efforts. | ||||

In April, I was awarded one of the 2007 WWF Fuller Fellowships. As a WWF Fuller Fellow, my marine connectivity research will integrate a network-based approach with genetic methods and biophysical modeling to quantify the spatial structure in marine populations. The objectives of this research are to 1) identify the spatial population structure for several marine species throughout the Coral Triangle, and 2) integrate these connectivity estimates into marine conservation planning. This research will be conducted from the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, co-advised and sponsored by Cynthia Riginos and Hugh Possingham at UQ, and the World Wildlife Fund.

My wife, Renée Treml (Seaman), is a scientist and artist. She works as a scientific illustrator and is a founding member of ArtReach in Chapel Hill, NC. I also enjoy teaching SCUBA diving in my free time. |
