Matt Harke

Matt Harke comes to GMGI with broad interests in molecular and aquatic microbial ecology. Before joining GMGI, he was an Associate Research Scientist at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory where he used metatranscriptomics to characterize the distribution, composition, and function of microorganisms in situ and in response to physical and chemical changes. He completed his MS and PhD at Stony Brook University investigating a range of topics including harmful algal bloom ecology (both fresh and marine), benthic-pelagic coupling, and microbial ecology.
