Dr. Monty Graham is a Senior Marine Scientist at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab near Mobile, Alabama. He received his doctorate in biology from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1994. Dr. Graham has broad expertise in the field of biological oceanography and zooplankton ecology, but his research focuses on the ecology of gelatinous plankton blooms around the world. His published works range from edited volumes of scientific papers to children’s books on topics such as jellies behavior, feeding, and economic impacts of jelly blooms on fisheries. Most recently, his research has been on the role of climate in jellies-fish dynamics.
