Bio/Research
Kelly Sutherland is an academic expert in biological oceanography and plankton ecology. At the University of Oregon, she is an associate professor of biology. Kelly is a biological oceanographer who wants to understand how planktonic marine organisms work. Her research looks at how gelatinous marine organisms – or “jellies” as she calls them - have evolved highly efficient means of locomotion. This insight may ultimately inform bioinspired transport systems. Her lab group also studies questions relating to zooplankton. Gelatinous zooplankton play an important role in structuring marine food webs and are increasing in number and frequency in some locations due to human impacts.
