Bio/Research
Chris Petersen has been a faculty member at COA since 1990, where he teaches a range of classes in marine biology, evolution, field ecology, molecular biology and policy. He also is actively engaged in research with students and with researchers at other universities. He has worked with undergraduates on Mount Desert Island, at multiple locations in the Caribbean, and the Pacific Northwest, and is currently collaborating with researchers from the University of Padova, Italy, UC Santa Barbara, and Scripps Institute of Oceanography as well as several groups in Maine including the Penobscot East Resource Center and Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory. Current student research projects include work on the ecology of local estuarine and anadromous fishes, historical ecology in Frenchman's Bay, and collaborative policy development with local communities, while continuing his broader work on the reproductive biology of fishes. Chris has published over 50 papers in a variety of professional journals and books, including recent papers with COA students as coauthors.
