Noelle Lucey

Noelle Lucey is an Associate Research Scholar at Princeton University, affiliated with the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI). Her work focuses on ecophysiological responses of marine organisms to global environmental changes, particularly hypoxia, ocean deoxygenation, and climate extremes. She investigates how tropical marine ecosystems adapt to these stressors through phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation.

Research interests include biodiversity conservation, coral reef resilience, and the impacts of compound climate stressors on marine invertebrates. Recent studies emphasize the interaction between ocean acidification, hypoxia, and warming on tropical ecosystems, with particular attention to coral communities and their microbiomes.

Her publications analyze ecosystem-scale consequences of acute deoxygenation events, hypoxia tolerance mechanisms in marine species, and long-term millennial changes in reef systems. This work bridges experimental physiology with large-scale environmental observations to inform climate adaptation strategies.

No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided materials. Advising and grant activities remain unreported, though her research likely involves collaborative grants focused on marine environmental science. Active participation in interdisciplinary teams studying coral reef resilience and ocean deoxygenation trends is implied through her publication topics.
