James Pringle

James Pringle is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of New Hampshire. His research bridges physical oceanography, population genetics, and marine ecology, focusing on dispersal mechanisms, biogeographic patterns, and climate change impacts on coastal systems.

• Education: Ph.D. in Oceanography (Chemical & Physical) from MIT-WHOI Joint Program, B.S. in Physics from Dartmouth College.

His work spans theoretical and applied studies, including asymmetric dispersal dynamics, genetic diversity in marine species, and coastal fluid mechanics. Recent articles highlight global dispersal climatologies, coral range expansion under climate change, and larval transport sensitivity in advective environments.

Grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and other institutions fund his research on larval dispersal quantification (2020–2025), basin-scale ocean forcing (2015–2021), and biogeographic modeling (2010–2015).
