Craig Aumack

Craig Aumack serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology within Georgia Southern University's College of Science and Mathematics. He holds a PhD from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and maintains his primary office at the Statesboro campus in Biological Sciences 2270.

His educational background includes doctoral training at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Dr. Aumack's research investigates physiological, biochemical, and ecological adaptations of macro- and microalgae in polar sea ice environments. He examines how abiotic factors influenced by climatic shifts alter community structures and chemical compositions, particularly focusing on material export impacts to underlying marine ecosystems in rapidly changing polar regions. His work bridges marine biology, polar ecology, and climate change science with implications for understanding ecosystem resilience.

As an active educator, he teaches Environmental Science, Evolution & Ecology, and Principles of Biology Lab courses across Georgia Southern's multi-campus system.
