The 2003 Scholars
Kurt Bretsch is currently pursuing his doctorate in marine biology from the University of South Carolina, Columbia. Bretsch has created and successfully used a technique that demonstrates clear, fine-scale patterns to the tidal migrations of fishes, shrimps, and crabs in intertidal creeks. He would like to continue his research by conducting a series of experiments investigating the effects of biological factors on migration patterns of intertidal creek organisms. Upon graduation, Bretsch would like to teach in the fields of marine and coastal conservation. (Top)
Pine Grove Mills, Pennsylvania Erik E. Cordes, Pine Grove Mills, Pa. - Erik E. Cordes is currently pursuing his doctorate in marine biology from Penn State University. Cordes is interested in researching ways to conserve and protect deep sea corals. His research goals include expanding current ecological theory on foundation species to include their significant role in providing habitat which affects community structure in the deep-sea. Upon graduation, Cordes would like to teach others about the importance of biogenic habitat to the deep-sea community. (Top)
Kelly Ann Gleason Greenville, North Carolina Kelly Ann Gleason, Greenville, N.C. - Kelly Ann Gleason is currently pursuing her doctorate in coastal resources management at East Carolina University. Gleason’s background is in nautical archaeology and maritime history. Her research focuses on understanding ways to mitigate the damage that might occur during underwater archaeological field work, and ways to inform managers and archaeologists of policies involving natural, as well as submerged cultural resources. Gleason is eager to continue to develop her skills as a resource manager and to communicate the significance of submerged cultural resources to the public. (Top)
Tallahassee, Florida. Rachel Lynelle Horlings, Tallahassee, Fla. - Rachel Lynelle Horlings is pursuing her masters in anthropology with a focus in maritime archaeology from Florida State University. Horlings has had a fascination in archaeology since her childhood and is especially interested in expanding the public’s understanding of the slave trade from Africa. Currently she is on a deep sea exploration project in the Black Sea. In the future, Horlings would like to pursue her a doctorate in scientific archaeology. (Top)
