The research of Miranda Wilson (Graduate Student, School of Biology) was recently featured on the website of NortekUSA. The work, done in the labs of Dr. Marc Weissburg (Professor, School of Biology) and Dr. Don Webster (Professor, School of Civil & Environmental Engineering), employed Nortek Vector velocimeters.

The goals of the research were to gain an understanding of how turbulent water flow in intertidal salt marsh and oyster reef systems impacts foraging by odor-mediated predators, and the subsequent community-level effects on population abundances and distributions.
