Margaret Ruth Mulholland is professor at Old Dominion University known for her work on nutrients in marine and estuarine environments.
Mulholland has a B.S. from the University of Notre Dame (1984), and an M.S. in biological oceanography (1986) and an M.M. in marine affairs (1992) from the University of Washington. [1] In 1998 she earned her Ph.D. in biological oceanography from the University of Maryland. [2] As of 2022 she is a professor at Old Dominion University. [1]
Mulholland's early research examined the oxidation of amino acids [3] and nitrogen cycling by the marine bacterium Trichodesmium. [4] [5] Her subsequent work investigated nitrogen cycling in harmful algae including Aureococcus [6] [7] and Karenia brevis. [8] She has examined how phytoplankton will respond to an ocean enriched in carbon dioxide, [9] the impact of climate change on the Chesapeake Bay, [10] and the contribution of nitrogen-fixing organisms to nutrient cycling. [11] [12] Her research tracks organic compounds in seawater, for example cyanate [13] or compounds produced by phytoplankton. [14] In coastal environments she has researched the impact of coastal flooding and the movement of pollution during floods. [15] [16] As of 2022 she has an h-index of 46 and has publications that have been cited more than 7000 times. [17]
