Biology Department

Biology faculty research that has been facilitated through SARC also includes more wide-ranging projects, such as the current establishment of a wetland for Heather Joesting’s research: Nursery production of Spartina alterniflora in a constructed wetland for aquaculture wastewater remediation. This project aims to establish baseline parameters for producing local S. alterniflora seedlings for marshland restoration along the Georgia coast.
Collaborations
Collaborative interdisciplinary research is common at SARC, particularly with the departments of Engineering, Information Technology, and Chemistry and Biochemistry. SARC has an ongoing collaboration with Eagle Dining Services, a partnership that focuses on supplying locally grown healthy eating choices to our students.
Community collaborations have also included veterans’ education, curriculum development, and system design for new species.
