University of New Orleans Biologist T. Erin Cox Studies Life Underwater
|
University of New Orleans biologist T. Erin Cox’s research expertise is in coastal benthic organisms, which are the animals and plants that live on the sea floor. Her laboratory group is interested in how these organisms respond to climate change and other environmental factors that can affect life on land.
“I study organisms that live on the sea floor, things like barnacles or crabs or sea grasses or algae,” Cox said. “We look at how they interact with each other and the environment, and how their interactions can cascade to affect things that humans get out of the ecosystems.”
