James Sulikowski researches the migration and metabolism of aquatic animals, specializing in sharks. 

He has worked with fisheries to observe the impact of chronic stress variables on their biological functions. This has evolved to testing neurotransmitter efficiency and protein regulation among different species.

His work further extends to utilizing telemetry, ultrasound and other tracking methods to observe how fish have adapted their migration patterns around human impacts.

Sulikowski is an associate director and professor for the School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences as well as the School of Life Sciences Interdisciplinary Graduate Faculty.

His work has been featured on Discovery Channel鈥檚 鈥淪hark Week,鈥� NBC鈥檚 鈥淭oday Show,鈥� National Geographic 鈥淥cean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin,鈥� and the BBC series 鈥淩ise of Animals.鈥�

Greg Asner is an ecologist who uses remote sensing to explore and preserve biodiversity on earth.

He is currently mapping land biodiversity and the health of the world's coral reefs from the sea, air and satellites. To do so, he flies on a "super plane" equipped with 3-D mapping tools and accesses 300-plus satellites in collaboration with Planet Inc. Under a new Global Deal for Nature, Asner is part of an international effort to finish this map and preserve biodiversity by 2030.

Overall, his research spans the areas of spatial ecology and biodiversity, terrestrial carbon cycle, animal-habitat interactions, and climate change. He develops scientific approaches and technologies for investigation and conservation assessments of large ecoregions.

Asner is the director of ASU's Center for Global Discovery and Conservation Science. He is a recipient of multiple scientific and sustainability awards and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
