Ocean Technology Research Program Manager at Mote Marine Laboratory, Dr. Jordon Beckler, was awarded an early-career research fellowship from the Gulf Research Program of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine to study how the presence of iron may affect harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the Gulf of Mexico. The two-year, $76,000 grant will allow Beckler to continue his research on ocean chemistry, to better understand HAB formation and behavior, explore the potential for iron in the environment to indirectly fuel HABs and to unravel how iron may affect ecosystem dynamics, economics and human health.
