Welcome to the Johnston Lab website.
We are part of the Marine Conservation Ecology Group at the Duke Marine Lab in the Nicholas School of the Environment
Here you will find details on the work we do, the people involved, and the products that arise from our endeavors. Most of our work focuses on assessing the habitat needs of marine vertebrates in relation to pressing conservation issues, and developing new ways to communicate our science effectively and move toward solutions. We currently work on projects in the North Atlantic, in the North Pacific, in Western Australia and in the Antarctic.
We are busy, and we love it!
We also work on projects that leverage mobile devices for both teaching and research, including the creation of digital textbooks, educational apps and geo-spatial citizen science projects.
