Project Description
Dr. Brandi Kiel Reese is an associate professor at the University of South Alabama and a senior research scientist at Dauphin Island Sea Lab. She earned her Ph.D. from Texas A&M University in Oceanography, M.S. from University of California at Riverside in Soil and Water Sciences, and B.S. from Southern Methodist University. Her doctoral research focused on understanding the mechanisms controlling hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico through sediment microbial ecology. Dr. Kiel Reese was a post-doctoral fellow at the NSF Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations at the University of Southern California where she worked on understanding the limits of life in deeply buried marine sediments collected through scientific drilling via the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). Additionally, she was awarded a fellowship at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg - Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Bremen, and selected as a National Academy of Sciences Kavli Fellow. Currently, her interdisciplinary research focuses on ecosystem processes by bringing together biogeochemistry, molecular microbiology, real-time monitoring technology, and statistical modeling to understand how sediment microbial communities contribute to overlying water column hypoxia and toxicity, specifically in coastal wetlands.
