Research Associate Professor of Biology; Senior Lecturer; Director of Masters Studies

Research in the Rotjan lab focuses on marine ecology and global change. The main goal is to examine how marine species, communities, and ecosystems respond to the complex multitude of stressors emerging in the contemporary world ocean, and how they will respond to the future ocean change that we expect in the coming decades.

The lab focuses heavily on marine protected areas, coral physiology and organismal biology with tropical and temperate species, and on behavioral ecology of tropical marine invertebrates. The lab also has a growing interest in comparing remote versus urban and coastal ecosystems.
