Topic: Natural history of aquatic systems at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve in the context of a changing planet
Our featured speaker this month is Dr. James Cotner. He has been studying freshwater and marine ecosystems for over 30 years--the tropics, the arctic, but mostly the temperate region. His area of expertise is primarily focused on heterotrophic bacteria and ecological stoichiometry. He works with individual strains and communities of ecologically relevant microbes in the laboratory as well as in the field. He feels that understanding gained in the lab can help generate understanding and questions that can be addressed in the field and vice versa.
His teaching responsibilities in EEB are fairly diverse. In the past, he taught Limnology, but more recently the primary course has been Biogeochemical Processes (EEB 4611). In this course, students try to understand the Earth as a collection of functioning ecosystems, but also spend a lot of time thinking about microbes because they are the motors that drive most of the transformations in biogeochemical cycles. James also teaches a course with a professor in Microbiology on beer: Brewing: The Biology, History and Practice.
