Summary
John Bruno is the Chi Omega Distinguished Professor and marine ecologist at UNC Chapel Hill whose research deciphers how climate change and human activities reshape marine biodiversity across the Caribbean and Galápagos. Trained at Brown (PhD) and shaped by a childhood of surfing, fishing, and SCUBA in south Florida, he blends field-based ecology with applied conservation to identify local strategies that strengthen ecosystem resilience. Since joining UNC in 2001 he has led research and taught courses from Marine Ecology to Seafood Forensics and the Future of Food, mentoring students who translate science into policy and practice. Outside academia he’s an active outdoorsman—biker, surfer, and kitesurfer—which informs a pragmatic, place-based approach to marine stewardship.
