Barbara Spiecker (she\/her\/hers) is a marine community ecologist who is broadly interested in scale-dependent responses of marine communities across space and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her research focuses on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Identifying underlying mechanisms that produce complex multi-scale responses of benthic communities and how these mechanisms and responses affect ecosystem-level processes from the bottom up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Using data from long-term monitoring programs to address pressing ecological issues, identify biological patterns across ecosystems, and provide practical solutions to common data-related issues surrounding these programs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
