Welcome to the Bowen Microbial Ecosystems Ecology Lab. We seek to understand the role microbes play in the functioning of coastal ecosystems and how we can harness those microbes to create more sustainable coastal communities.
Dr. Johanna L'Heureux!
Congratulations to Dr. Johanna L’Heureux for her successful PHD defense! Johanna dissertation’s focused on microbial functions in salt marshes, covering topics running from human fertilizer usage to how microbial traits and resource acquisition strategies change in different inundation and salinity regimes. We wish her all the the best in her new role at AbbVie and will miss her a lot.

Bowen Lab Values
Our lab is committed to promoting diverse, equitable and inclusive research and learning spaces for all people. We believe that science and society benefit from a diversity of perspectives that are informed by the lived experiences of all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, age, gender identity or expression, ability, sexual orientation, religion, citizenship, or socio-economic status. We will not tolerate harassment or discrimination in any form and we acknowledge the harm that has been done to our profession by such behavior. We will use our privilege to fight against racism, discrimination, and implicit biases to build a more diverse and equitable future for the marine sciences.
