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.
