Bioelectrochemically-enhanced resilience of benthic ecosystems from environmental stressors

Ongoing trends of eutrophication and global change are increasing the intensity and frequency of anoxic events in aquatic environment menacing the survival of benthic organisms. This project will explore how electro-active organisms can help to enhance the ability of the benthic ecosystem to survive and recover from such environmental stressors.
