Dr. John Nelsonis an independent investigator based in the Koop lab.

Research Interests

My research is centered around two areas, molecular population genetics, and artic biological oceanography with a focus on marine zooplankton. A major current activity is the study of zooplankton distribution and community composition in the Canada Basin and the North Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort seas. I am interested in applying new and old approaches to understanding ecosystem structure and function.
