Konstantinos A Kormas
I completed my Biology BSc (1994) and PhD (1998) on marine ecology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. I worked as a post-doctoral investigator on coastal Cyanobacteria at the Trondhjem Biological Station, Norway (2000) and at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA (2000-2002) on deep-sea microbiology. In March 2005 I was appointed as faculty of aquatic microbial ecology at the Department of Ichthyology & Aquatic Environment, University of Thessaly, Greece. Since March 2015 I am a full Professor at the same department.
Our research group investigates processes that are related the distribution and abundance of microorganisms in different aquatic habitats and also aquatic animal-microbe interactions.
Donald L Kramer
Dr. Kramer is Professor Emeritus of Biology, McGill University, Montreal, Canada, now living in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. He obtained his Ph.D. in Zoology at the University of British Columbia in 1971. Following postdoctoral research at the University of Ghana and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, he was hired by McGill University where he remained until his retirement. He was a founding co-editor of Behavioral Ecology. Research Interests: Habitat selection and spatial distribution, antipredator behavior, foraging, breathing strategies in hypoxic environments, with forays into a variety of other topics. Principal study organisms: fishes (especially in coral reef and tropical freshwater habitats) and sciurid rodents (deciduous temperate forests).
Anne Kuhn
Anne Kuhn holds a PhD in Environmental Science from the University of Rhode Island, and has expertise in the field of spatial statistics and developing approaches for evaluating the relative risks from chemical and non-chemical stressors on spatially structured populations of wildlife species across. Anne develops and evaluates watershed indicators to reflect and predict aquatic condition in lakes, streams and estuaries. Her current research involves evaluating key intrinsic factors controlling watershed physical processes and connectivity, and quantifying watershed-level stressors (e.g., land use, stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon, nutrient loads, climate change, etc.) that influence the condition and integrity of water bodies within watersheds.
Alban Kuriqi
Interested in interdisciplinary research, scientific writing, science communication, teaching, and offering consultancy for the industry. My core research interests and expertise include renewable energy—focusing on hydropower and complementarity resources, hydropower impacts, river restoration and management, e-flows, floods, droughts, climate change, fluvial hydraulics, sediment transport in open-channel flows; embankment structures; hydraulic structures; Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), long-term meteorological and hydrologic trends and variability analysis, ecohydraulics, ecohydrology, and artificial intelligence applications in the field hydraulics and hydrology.
Tomohiro Kuwae
Head of the Coastal and Estuarine Environment Research Group, Port and Airport Research Institute. My research interests include biogeochemical cycling in shallow coastal waters, nutrient and oxygen fluxes across the sediment-water interface, nutrient and oxygen dynamics in sediments, analysis of foodwebs using carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios, CO2 sequestration and carbon storage by shallow coastal ecosystems, feeding ecology and foraging behaviour of shorebirds, conservation, restoration, and creation of intertidal flat ecosystems, development stage of created intertidal flat ecosystems, dynamics of benthic microbes, macroinvertebrates, and shorebirds in created intertidal flat ecosystems, and response of created intertidal flat ecosystems to varying environmental conditions
Daniel J. G. Lahr
I am interested in an array of questions regarding protistan evolution and diversity. I have worked in protistology since my 1st undergraduate year, then did a masters in taxonomy of testate amoebae and a PhD in evolutionary biology, focusing on amoebozoans. My research focuses on constructing phylogenetic trees to answer broad questions in the evolutionary biology of microbes.
Max R Lambert
I'm an ecologist and environmental scientist who studies a diversity of conservation and restoration issues for biodiversity and ecosystems.
Chris P.S. Larsen
My research is at the intersection of climate change, landscape ecology and ecological dynamics. I employ historical ecological and paleoclimatic data to assess ecosystem dynamics and to provide context for ecological restoration. Past research focussed on the use of tree-rings, and fossil pollen and charcoal, to reconstruct the impacts of climate change on fire frequency and forest composition. My current research tests climatic, Colonial, and Indigenous factors as the cause of decreased white oak across the eastern US and the increase in mesophytic species. Additional research with graduate students has explored carbon sequestration by vegetation at the local scale of brownfields in Buffalo, to the regional scale of the forests of the eastern USA, and landscape-scale conservation and restoration of amphibians including the eastern hellbender.

Benjamin H Letcher
Ben Letcher is a quantitative stream ecologist working at the interface of field studies and mathematical models of population and evolutionary dynamics. My group is combining information from long-term intensive studies of stream fish with extensive studies to develop broad scale models of population response to environmental change.

Oren Levy
The aim of our research group is to understand the dependency between environmental cues (e.g. light and temperature) that underlie circadian rhythms in symbiotic marine organisms, reef-building corals, in regulating physiology and behavior. Symbiotic corals will serve as a model system to investigate the dependency between two circadian-system associations or non-associations in the simple multicellular organism, on the physiological and molecular levels.
