Announcements

I am currently looking for graduate students (M.S. or Ph.D.) or Post-Docs

If you are interested in bioacoustics, zooplankton or fish ecology,
or any of the other projects described on these pages, please contact Joe.
Knowledge or experience in computer programming needed.


The ALES group is spending the next few months preparing for research in Long Island, the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica (in the fall), catching up on sample processing, paper and report writing, and -maybe- sneaking in some surf if we get some decent waves here in Long Island.

Joe travelled (May 2011) to attend and present research results at the ICES WGFAST meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland and shortly afterwards to the Acoustic Challenges in Aquatic Ecosystem Assessment Workshop sponsored by the Acoustical Society of America and the American Fisheries Society in Seattle, WA.

Joe attended the 5th International Zooplankton Production Symposium meeting which was held in Chile in March 2011.  It was a great meeting with ~ 300 zooplankton scientists from around the globe in attendance. I also found a local bakery which made alfajores which were delicious.

Congratulations to former lab member, Joy Smith whose work for her Masters thesis on the variability of material properties of Bering Sea zooplankton was published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.

Check out our lab blog from our research cruise in Antarctica during Nov/Dec 2010.

The Warren lab has returned to Long Island after a very active spring and early summer research season with cruises in Cape Cod Bay and Antarctica. Now it's time to analyze and process all the different types of data that were collected. There was also a trip to Penn State to teach the active acoustics section of the SeaBASS week-long graduate course in bioacoustics. And presentations at the ICES WG FAST meeting in San Diego and an invited presentation at the Acoustical Society of America meeting in Baltimore.

Our lab now has a new logo ! (see above). Even if one of my students thinks my copepod looks more like a bug.

Prof. Peterson and I had another great group of students in our winter term course MAR 388: Tropical Marine Ecology (read all about it in this year's  course blog).

Recent presentations about the lab's research were made at the 18th Biennial meeting of the Society for Marine Mammalogy in Quebec, Canada and at the 158th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in San Antonio, Texas.

Congratulations to former lab member, Krissy Forman whose work for her Masters thesis on the variability of material properties of zooplankton and nekton was published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science.

                                  Attention Stony Brook undergraduate MAR/MVB/ENS majors:                                  

I am looking for students to assist in the analysis of zooplankton samples from Cape Cod and Antarctica. You will be able to receive academic credit or pay for working in my lab. If interested, please contact me.
