Microbial oceanography, marine biogeochemistry, bacterioplankton dynamics, dissolved organic matter, carbon cycle.

Freshwater biology, stream ecology, salmonid restoration, conservation biology, land use, fires, scaling, meta-analysis.

The mission of our research group is to reveal the role of infectious diseases in ecosystems. We investigate parasite ecology, disease ecology, food web dynamics, ecology and evolution of infectious strategies, and control of human parasites.

Dr. Melack studies ecological processes in lakes, wetlands and streams and their catchments throughout the world.
