Biocomplexity is concerned with the complex behavioral, biological, social, chemical, and physical interactions of livingorganisms with their environment. Both the term and the research field are relatively new and encompass other domains like biodiversity, ecology etc..
The aim of biocomplexity research is to discover, access, interpret, integrate and analyze complex ecological data.
The faculty researchers and students at Cornell and Syracuse will be supported by one of 16 grants chosen from 300 proposals to the NSF, to foster a better understanding of the interrelationships that arise when living things at all levels interact with their environment.
The biocomplexity grant also will afford research opportunities for students, including fieldwork and laboratory internships for undergraduates and fellowships for doctoral students in multidisciplinary studies at Cornell.
Biocomplexity researchers plan to focus on several embayments along the New York coast of Lake Ontario, including Little Sodus Bay, Port Bay, South and North Sandy Ponds and Fairhaven State Park Pond.
