Hannah Reich

Hannah Reich is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Biology at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF), where she conducts research on coral symbiosis and trace metal dynamics in marine ecosystems from her office in Illick Hall.

Her primary research areas include:

• Coral Symbiosis and Holobiont Function
• Trace Metal Cycling in Marine Ecosystems
• Climate Change Impacts on Coral Reefs
• Symbiodiniaceae Diversity and Ecology
• Aquatic Ecosystem Feedbacks to Climate
• Conservation Physiology of Corals

Analysis of her 14 publications (2017-2024) reveals a consistent focus on coral-algal symbiosis mechanisms, particularly how trace metals (especially iron) regulate symbiont stress responses and holobiont resilience. Her work bridges molecular microbiology with ecosystem-scale climate feedbacks, emphasizing Caribbean coral conservation through genomic and biogeochemical approaches.
