Martin Volaric is an Environmental Scientist at the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI), a non-governmental organization focused on the water quality of San Francisco Bay, CA. There he oversees an array of moored water quality sensors that monitor the health of the Bay, with an emphasis on understanding the mechanics of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs).
Martin also has extensive experience quantifying “blue carbon” sequestration of a variety of aquatic ecosystems, ranging from coral reefs to river deltas. He is an expert in aquatic eddy covariance flux measurements, a cutting-edge methodology for measuring the carbon metabolism of benthic aquatic systems.
