Biographical Sketch

Pat Glibert is a Professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), Horn Point Laboratory.  She received her Ph.D. from Harvard University and was a Postdoctoral Scholar and an Assistant Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic before moving to the University of Maryland. Dr. Glibert also holds an Honorary Doctorate from Linnaeus University, Sweden, and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography. Pat’s research centers around questions related to nutrient dynamics, particularly the effects of eutrophication, and algal blooms. Her current work is focused on the linkages between changes in the amounts and forms of nutrient loading, harmful algal blooms (HABs), and changes in aquatic food web structure.
