about danielle hatt

Firstly, thank you for visiting my page to learn more about my research in marine biology and phycology.

I began my academic journey at Florida International University, where I earned a B.Sc. in Marine Biology and obtained a PADI advanced open water diver certification. I worked as an undergraduate research technician in the Marine Macroalgae Research Lab (MMRL) under Dr. Ligia Collado-Vides, managing projects, establishing lab protocols, training technicians, and overseeing data for the Florida Coastal Everglades Long-term Ecological Monitoring (FCE-LTER) program. My research involved monitoring the abundance and productivity of key macroalgae species in Florida Bay.

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Campbell Global Change Biology Lab located at the Biscayne Bay Campus at Florida International University. My research interests are taxonomy, physiology, and community ecology of subtropical and tropical marine macroalgae, with focus on the impacts of climate change on blooming species within the Atlantic region.
