Dynamics Lab
About the MEDs lab
The Marine Ecosystem Dynamics Lab scientists and researchers study the interactions and relationships between different components of marine ecosystems. They examine physical, ecological, and biological processes that affect the marine environment, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and the impact of human activities.
The lab is equipped with specialized instruments and technology to monitor and analyze near-shore and oceanic data along wide-depth gradients from shallow reefs, through the mesophotic zone, to the deep seas, allowing researchers to understand and predict changes in marine ecosystems.
The Team
The MEDs Lab combined a multidisciplinary team of researchers from diverse backgrounds such as Marine Sciences, Biology, Ecology, Geology, Management and Technology to solve urgent questions in Marine Research & Conservation
Gal Eyal, PhD
Principal Investigator
Gal is the PI of the MEDs Lab at Bar-Ilan University specialised in the dynamics of marine ecosystems
Noa Simon-Blecher, PhD
Lab manager
Noa is our lab manager (shared with Prof. Levy's lab)
Bar Feldman, PhD
Postdoctoral Researcher
Bar is a postdoc specialized in palaeoecology of coral reefs. In har PhD she established a geological and historical records of shallow coral reefs in the Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba by radiocarbon dating, reconstructing the coral species distribution throughout the Holocene and reconstructing their chemical and isotopic composition to differentiate between anthropogenic and natural climatic effects.
Ankita Das
M.Sc. student
Ankita is a new lab member doing her thesis in the lab. She is focusing on the effect of climate changes on the coral holobiont
M.Sc. student
A highly motivated biologist/ecologist/engineer who is desired to make an impact in the field of modern and historical ecology.
The candidate will be a team player capable of working in a fast-paced research environment, occasionally in the field, for long and unconventional hours.
