About

Charles Schutte earned a B.S. in Environmental Science and a B.S. in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2007 and a PhD in Marine Science from the University of Georgia in 2018. He went on to a postdoctoral scientist position at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany and later returned to the United States as a research scientist at the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium. He has been an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Science at Rowan University since 2019 where he teaches field methods and oceanography courses. As a biogeochemist, his work is focused on understanding how nutrients and greenhouse gases cycle through aquatic environments and how these cycles are likely to shift in response to global environmental alterations like climate change and sea-level rise.
