Anthony Weinke; M.S. in Biology-Aquatic Science, Grand Valley State University, 2016; Currently the Biddanda Lab Manager since 2016, operating and maintaining a high-frequency time series buoy observatory for monitoring weather and water quality in a Great Lakes regional lake/estuary undergoing restoration, and the logistics of deploying monitoring equipment and cameras to the bottom of sinkholes for monitoring diel processes in microbial mats. The author is interested in the intersection of physical and biological processes. Past and current research includes studying the impacts of wind events and intrusions on stratification, bottom-water hypoxia, and productivity in lakes, and diel movement of bacterial filaments in microbial mats of extreme ecosystems.
