|
A symposium representing the many aspects of John Hobbie’s illustrious career
May 7, 2006
Lillie Auditorium
John Hobbie, is an MBL Distinguished Scientist and co-director of the MBL's Ecosystems Center.
Dr. Hobbie has sustained an impressive array of research and outreach activities for almost 50 years. His research has attempted to identify the factors controlling decomposition and productivity within aquatic ecosystems. His current research interests center on the role of microbes in freshwater, estuarine, and soil ecosystems. Dr. Hobbie also helped establish the Arctic Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program and is the director of the Arctic LTER project, which focuses on the ecology of tundra, streams, and lakes at the Toolik Lake Field Station located in the foothills region of the North Slope of Alaska.
