Renee Gruber is a biogeochemist studying coastal marine and estuarine systems whose work focuses on physical-biological interactions. Her research is field and process-based and includes the role of waves and tides in controlling ecological processes such as metabolism and nutrient fluxes. She is also interested ocean observing and time-series’ analysis and leads AIMS’ component of the GBR Marine Monitoring Program for Inshore Water Quality.
