Welcome
Interdisciplinary work, along with collaborations and partnerships, is key to solving environmental problems.
Research in the Nickols lab integrates ecology and oceanography to study the spatial dynamics of coastal marine organisms as they are affected by physical processes and anthropogenic influences.
We combine empirical measurements and models to conduct basic and applied research, focusing on biophysical processes in the nearshore environment with implications for the management of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
