Samantha
Joye
Professor
Department
of Marine Sciences, University of Georgia
Expertise: Biogeochemistry, Microbial Ecology
Issues of Interest:
Non-point source pollution (groundwater), nutrient dynamics, microalgal
production, trace gas (methane, nitrous oxide) dynamics
Current Projects:
1. Groundwater-derived
nitrogen and phosphorus inputs to the Satilla River estuary: impacts on coastal
ecosystem health
2. The role of
groundwater in the biogeochemical cycles of nitrogen and phosphorus in SC
coastal waters
3. The role of
intertidal sediment processes in mediating coastal ecosystem health
4. Georgia Coastal
Ecosystems Long Term Ecological Research Program (sediment biogeochemistry,
Altamaha River water chemistry)
Location: Our work focuses on the Altamaha River, on Sapelo Island and in the Satilla
River estuary (Dover Bluff and White Oak Creek). We also have field sites in
South Carolina, near Bluffton.
