معرفی
Nathan Lanning serves as a Lecturer in the Science and Math department at Curry College, contributing to undergraduate education in environmental and marine sciences through teaching and research initiatives.
Education:
- B.S. in Environmental Science and B.S. in Marine Biology from the University of New Haven, where he investigated copper bioremediation by green macroalgae in New Haven Harbor
- Ph.D. in Oceanography from Texas A&M University, specializing in trace metal distributions (iron, manganese, lead) in the central Pacific Ocean with focus on hydrothermal vent influences
His research expertise centers on chemical oceanography and trace element cycling in marine environments. Current work examines lead contamination patterns in the Pacific Ocean through collaboration with the international GEOTRACES program, integrating field studies of hydrothermal vent impacts on metal distributions. Earlier research demonstrated biological remediation mechanisms for copper pollution using marine macroalgae, highlighting natural mitigation processes for heavy metal contamination in coastal ecosystems.
No scientific awards or honors were documented in the available profile information.
While specific advising records and grant funding details were not provided, his GEOTRACES collaboration indicates active participation in global oceanographic research networks. Laboratory infrastructure details remain unspecified, though his hydrothermal vent research suggests involvement in ship-based sampling operations and analytical chemistry facilities.
