University profile
Dr. Colette Feehan studies how ecosystem perturbations driven by disease outbreaks and climate change alter the structure and functioning of coastal marine ecosystems.
Dr. Feehan examines sea urchin extinction risk and the concomitant risk of secondary extinctions in coral reef ecosystems. She and her students are partnering with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to conduct scientific research that will inform the management and conservation of coral reefs.
