Dr. Gabriela Smalley received her Ph.D. in marine and estuarine environmental sciences from the University of Maryland in 2002. She currently holds the rank of Associate Professor of Geological and Marine sciences. Before joining the department in 2004, she held a postdoctoral position at the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Chemical Ecology Laboratory in Savannah. Gabi has a broad background in oceanography, particularly in biological oceanography, and teaches the oceanography courses for marine sciences majors at Rider University. Her research interests focus on plankton ecology. Gabi is specifically interested in microbial trophic interactions, algal bloom dynamics, and chemical signaling between planktonic predator and prey. She has participated in numerous research cruises in the Chesapeake Bay, the South Atlantic Bight, and in waters off Norway. Her lab currently is working on a project looking at nutrient limitation in various phytoplankton species and the different ways these organisms deal with the limitation.
