| Center for Ecological Health Research |
| The central goal of the Center is to understand how multiple stresses interact to affect biological and ecological processes in aquatic and terrestrial systems. Natural stresses such as drought, salinity, and climate change and anthropogenic stresses such as toxic compounds, nutrients, species introductions and habitat destruction are cumulative impacts on ecosystems. An important product of the Center’s activities will be a toolkit of inexpensive methods. With these methods the Center expects to be able to reduce the theoretical complexity of a multiply-stressed ecosystem to a manageable level. The Center provides a forum and a structure that identifies significant issues, designs assessment strategies, and integrates research efforts relevant to assessing risks on selected ecosystems. The Center has formulated four overall objectives: to maintain and intensify interdisciplinary research on complex ecosystem processes; to develop and verify new data management, risk analysis, and modeling techniques; to develop and apply new sensitive and reliable biomarkers based on a mechanistic understanding of toxic processes; and to use new methodologies to effectively characterize and develop cost-effective strategies to manage ecological risks and communicate them to users and managers.

The Center has major programs in research, graduate education, industrial outreach, and educational outreach designed to create new knowledge, facilitate the dissemination of knowledge to the industrial and governmental sectors, help to develop a well-trained work force knowledgeable in microbial ecology, and increase scientific literacy among K-12 students. The intellectual focus of the Center for Microbial Ecology is to understand factors that influence the competitiveness, diversity and function of microorganisms in their natural and managed habitats. This knowledge is important because microorganisms have major roles in determining global warming, ground water quality, plant and animal health, and organic matter cycling. Further, microorganisms are important to the biotechnology industry and include organisms developed to degrade hazardous chemicals, for the production of pharmaceuticals and for biocatalysis. To ensure a sustainable biosphere and to exploit these microbial processes for economic gain, we must develop a comprehensive understanding of microbial diversity, microbial processes and microbial interactions. This can best be achieved through a multidisciplinary research effort such as that of the Center. (Posted October 2000.) |
