Claire B. Paris
Professor, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science
I am a biological oceanographer with expertise in biophysical modeling of larval dispersal and migration. I specialize in the Early Life History stages of marine organisms, focusing on larval connectivity and retention mechanisms, pelagic mortality, sound production, and discrimination of cues to find suitable nursery habitats. I also have expertise in larval fish taxonomy and I am fascinated with the diversity of larval morphologies and their adaptations to the pelagic environment.
