Random Walks and a Dimensionless Number: Mathematics for Marine Ecology
Author: Sarah Williams
Danny Grünbaum is a marine
ecologist who works as a
professor in the departments of
Oceanography and Biology at
the University ofWashington in
Seattle. In his research, Grünbaum
examines how traits of individuals
in a marine population translate
into population-wide dynamics.
I met Grünbaum in Chapel Hill,
North Carolina, when he visited
to talk with mathematicians here
about his work.
This article draws on the conversations I had with Grünbaum, his published research, and my own simple implementations of some ideas he has presented. My aim is to give the reader a taste of what it is like to use math at work as a marine ecologist.
