Interests in trophic dynamics, energy distributions, and biodiversity. Current work is utilizing global remote sensing techniques to study the interconnectedness of terrestrial, coastal, and oceanic landscapes.

Maas is a comparative ecophysiologist who studies the biogeochemical role of zooplankton in open ocean systems and the effects of climate change on these organisms.

Hochberg is a coral reef systems ecologist and remote sensing scientist interested in scaling reef processes across organisms, communities, and ecosystems, ultimately to predict change in reef ecosystems worldwide.

Cramer's research focuses on understanding how processes drive the distribution and persistence of marine organisms, particularly across multiple scales of time and space.
