Name /Rank /Email /Phone | Research Interests and Projects Instructional Specialties |
Dr. Tara Cox Associate Professor Email: coxt@savannahstate.edu Phone: 912-358-4097 |
Spatial ecology and conservation biology of long-lived marine vertebrates, marine and coastal policy and management, and human interactions with marine mammals. Current projects include: Human-interaction behaviors (particularly begging), stock structure and abundance estimates, and characterization of the microbiome in the spleen of common bottlenose dolphins. |
Dr. Carla Curran Associate Professor Email: curranc@savannahstate.edu Phone: 912-358-4438 |
Physiological adaptations of fishes, metabolic cost of sex change in fishes, larval transport and settlement by juveniles flatfishes, bopyrid isopod parasite prevalence in grass shrimp, recovery of meiofauna in intertidal feeding pits created by rays, and Spartina dieback in coastal Georgia. |
Dr. Sue Ebanks Assistant Professor Email: ebankss@savannahstate.edu Phone: 912-358-4430 |
Aquatic physiology and toxicology with particular focus on macroinvertebrates. Current projects include: The effects of physically weathered and chemically dispersed crude oil on development and physiological processes in brine shrimp and marsh shrimp species as well as engaging students and underrepresented community youth in the exploration and monitoring of the Lower Ogeechee River Estuary. |
Dr. Matthew Gilligan Professor Emeritus Email: gilliganm@savannahstate.edu Phone: 912-358-4098 |
Dr. Matthew Gilligan formally retired as professor and coordinator of marine sciences at SSU on October 1, 2011 but continues to assist part-time in externally-funded programs. |
Dr. Christopher Hintz Assistant Professor Email: hintzc@savannahstate.edu Phone: 912-358-4096 |
Carbonate chemistry, ocean acidification, technique and method development, and advanced/computer controlled culture techniques. Current projects include: ONR SENSR - freshmen and sophomore STEM research/training program, techniques for unattended monitoring of carbonate chemistry, and low-cost, low-effort marine algal biomass production for biofuels or feedstocks. |
