Marine Ecology Laboratory of Sungkyunkwan University carries out a variety of research projects concerning Korean marine environments, which include 1) ecological monitoring of marine benthic habitats with regard to global warming and seawater temperature changes, 2) population ecological works of introduced species and endangered species for their conservation perspectives, 3) molecular ecological works on populations of seaweeds and marine invertebrates, 4) urchin barrens (백화현상) and recovery of kelp forest. Most of these projects have been conducted with international and domestic research co-work teams. Researches in my lab covers from field experimental works to molecular ecological works.
