Maritime Heritage Ecology: part 2

Friends, as you know, I've collaborated with an archaeologist, Calvin Mires, for 4 years now. We came up with a framework and common vocabulary for biology-archaeology studies that we call Maritime Heritage Ecology. Well, today, the first study in Maritime Heritage Ecology was published. Calvin and I looked at how structural changes to the Portland shipwreck impacted the biological community over 20 years. This is the heart of Maritime Heritage Ecology: understanding how archaeological processes (i.e., degradation of a shipwreck) interact with and influence biological processes (i.e., succession and community structure). I am very proud of our work.
