Title: “NOAA’s Cooperative Oxford Lab: Science Portfolio in Context of NOAA, National Ocean Service and National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science Priorities”
Speaker:
Ms. Suzanne Skelley, NOAA
Abstract:
NOAA’s Cooperative Oxford Lab is shared by National Ocean Service, National Marine Fisheries Service and Maryland Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Service. The research portfolio of its scientists is driven by the priorities of the respective organizations. The long term co-location of the three organizations is instrumental in forging common areas of interest and work. NOAA’s designation of the Choptank and Little Choptank watersheds as a habitat focus area provides a focal point for cross- Lab collaboration. The seminar will describe the Lab’s collaborative research efforts from the perspective of its Director who is from the National Ocean Service.our understanding of the potential roles bacteria may play in the unusual sacoglossan lifestyle.
