About Dr. Paul E. Hargraves:
After a multi-decadal career at the Graduate School of Oceanography of the University of Rhode Island, Dr. Paul Hargraves is now an Affiliated Research Professor in Harbor Branch's Center for Marine Ecosystem Health. His research interests focus on the biodiversity, systematics, ultrastructure, and life cycles of microscopic life in aquatic environments, and his >100 publications include research on fresh water, coastal, and oceanic environments from the North Atlantic to the Antarctic, from the Peruvian Amazon to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, from the Indian River Lagoon to 50-million year-old fossils.
During his career, Dr. Hargraves has received research funding totaling several million dollars from the National Science Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Agency, the National Sea Grant program, and several private organizations. He has been a visiting professor at the National University of Costa Rica and at the University of Salzburg, Austria, served as Associate Dean of the Graduate School of Oceanography, and held adjunct positions at several other universities. His former students, including 12 Ph.D. and 20 M.S. recipients, have gone on to successful careers in academia, industry, and government, and he has served on the thesis committees of over 50 additional graduate students. He attributes his early and lifelong interest in the marine environment to many summers spent digging in the mud on Cape Cod.
A kaleidoscope design derived from the 'Midnight Triangle' image. It is always amazing to me how certain textures and features exhibit themselves in nontraditional ways when using this method to illuminate the abstract quality of the diatoms and dinoflagellates.
I recently received a group of 'new' images to start working with. One of them is a rather familiar one to many of you - Ceratocorys. Here it is in a Bleu version. It was selected as a feature in 'Underwater Creatures' at RedBubble. You can view the entire Portfolio by going to the side-bar at the right.
I am happy to say that a special GSO 50th Anniversary kaleidoscope image was selected as a Feature this week in the 'A Kaleidoscope Kraze' group at RedBubble. One of my very favorite 'bests' of the collection.
Happy to report that one of the original exhibition images was chosen as a feature in 'Underwater Creatures' this week at RedBubble.
