Raleigh Hood is an American biological oceanographer whose research focuses on biological oceanography[1], marine ecosystem modeling, biogeochemistry, and the application of numerical models to coastal and open-ocean ecosystems.[2][3][4] He is professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), where he is based at the Horn Point Laboratory.[5][6] He is the recipient of Frohlich Fellowship awarded by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization.[7]
Education and career
[edit]Hood received a Bachelor of Science in oceanography, cum laude, from the University of Washington in 1983.[8] He earned a Ph.D. in oceanography from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego in 1990.[7] Following his doctoral studies, he held postdoctoral appointments at Oregon State University from 1990 to 1991 and the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami (1991–1992).[9]
Hood joined the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) in 1995 as an Assistant Professor at the Horn Point Laboratory in Cambridge, Maryland. He became Associate Professor in 2001 and Professor in 2007.[10] At UMCES, Hood has conducted research in coastal and open-ocean environments across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans[11], as well as estuarine systems including the Chesapeake Bay.[4]
Research
[edit]Hood's research interests include biological oceanography, marine biogeochemistry[12], ecosystem modeling[2], harmful algal blooms[13], phytoplankton ecology,[14] nitrogen cycling, and climate–ocean interactions.[15] He has developed coupled physical-biogeochemical models to study marine ecosystems and has contributed to forecasting ecological variability in coastal waters.[16]
Much of his research has focused on the Chesapeake Bay[4], where he has investigated nutrient dynamics, dissolved organic matter, oyster ecosystem processes, jellyfish ecology, and water-quality modeling.[5] He has also published on marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem dynamics in the Indian Ocean and other ocean basins.[1]
