Invited Guest Speaker
Dr. Nina Caraco is research associate at the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, NY. Nina received a bachelors degree in Biology from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in Marine Ecology from Boston University Marine Program in Woods Hole, MA
Dr. Caraco's involvement in scholarly activity includes service on the editorial board of Marine Ecological Progress Series. She has also served as a grant reviewer and panel member for a number of agencies and organizations, and she is a member of several related professional organizations. She has also participated in a number of academic committees including the future of the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography and the Ecological Society of America's panel on non-point pollution of surface waters with phosphorus and nitrogen.
Dr. Caraco has worked on a number of areas in the field of water quality management. Her work includes nitrogen and phosphorus loading and cycling in lakes, rivers, and estuaries nutrient limitation of phytoplankton biomass and production, control of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), and the ecosystem impacts of invasive species. Nina and coworkers have published more than 40 papers in peer-reviewed journals on limnology, aquatic ecology and water quality; including the prestigious journals Nature, Science, Environmental Science and Technology, Bioscience, Ecology, and Limnology and Oceanography. She has also contributed more than 10 chapters for books on ecology and aquatic science. Nina has served in the United States and internationally as a consultant on water quality issues related to cultural eutrophication.
