Joshua Feingold, Ph.D., is a professor at NSU's Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences. He earned a B.S. in Biology and Philosophy at Trinity College, and then completed M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Marine Biology at the University of Miami’s Rosentstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. His research interests concern the distribution and abundance of free-living coral communities in the eastern tropical Pacific, and impacts associated with El Niño-Southern Oscillation on these and other coral communities. Photography is utilized in much of this work to document benthic cover and species interactions, and becomes a creative outlet when the science is completed.
