k. castillo Karl Castillo

Research Interests:

My broad research interest is in marine physiological ecology and conservation. Specific interest in understanding how local exposure to natural and anthropogenic stressors influences the physiological response of marine organisms, and how this links to global climate change. Much of my work is focused on physiological ecology of tropical coral reefs.

Research Interests:

I am interested in coral reef communities particularly determining the causes and consequences of their decline.  My research to date has focused on trophic interactions, or who eats whom on coral reefs of the Florida Keys.  I am hoping to use stable isotopes to further elucidate trophic relationships on reefs.

Research Interests:

I am interested in biophysical interactions relevant to plankton ecology on small scales. Past research projects have included studying planktonic thin layers and how they are affected by different physical and biological factors. Currently I am investigating the sinking of marine snow particles through sharp density gradients and its implications for carbon cycling.

Research Interests:

Microbial degradation of particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) in artificial aggregates including diatoms and mineral particles, in natural water samples and in fluffy layer material (phytodetritus aggregates in the sediment-water interface). Fluorescently-labeled macromolecules as organic substrates are used to measure microbial hydrolysis rates.
