Dr. Lockwood is interested in participating in interdisciplinary research associated with coastal ecosystems, and in supporting the graduate education mission of the Institute. Her research has included a substantial amount of time considering the conservation of coastal systems, including the management of threatened species and the prevention and impact of coastal marine invaders. Julie’s commitment to graduate education stems from her service as the graduate program director of the Ecology and Evolution Program, including submitting several training grants to provide fellowships for graduate students.
