Jeffrey G. Baguley

Teaching Professor

Summary

Dr. Baguley earned a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Linfield College in 2000. Upon completion of undergraduate studies he matriculated into the Marine Science doctoral program at the University of Texas at Austin. Under the guidance of Dr. Paul Montagna, Dr. Baguley's Ph.D dissertation focused on meiobenthic community structure and function in the northern Gulf of Mexico deep sea.

After completion of his graduate studies in 2004, Dr. Baguley was hired as a research assistant professor at the Baruch Institute for Marine and Coastal Sciences at the University of South Carolina. Under the guidance of Dr. Bruce Coull and Dr. Tom Chandler, Dr. Baguley's post-doctoral studies focused on the population genetics of the harpacticoid copepod Nannopus palustris, and ecotoxicology of emerging contaminants.

In 2006, Dr. Baguley was hired as a faculty member in the Department of Biology at The University of Nevada where he continues his studies of marine benthic ecology, but also has expanded his interests into the Lake Tahoe basin.

Research interests

Dr. Baguley's research program focuses on marine meiobenthic ecology. Current research programs are based on three focal areas: deep-sea ecology, polar ecology, and ecotoxicology. Dr. Baguley's deep-sea research interests include large-scale biotic/abiotic interactions, biodiversity, and broadening our understanding of both community structure and function.

Our polar meiobenthic research seeks to elucidate spatial and temporal dynamics of meiobenthic communities in these extreme environments. Our ecotoxicology research includes both field-based environmental impact studies as well as mesocosm experiments to understand the effects of contaminants on meiobenthic community structure and function.
