Frank Paolo Jay B. Albarico is a Faculty Member of the College of Fisheries and Allied Sciences, Northern Negros State College of Science and Technology, Philippines, where he teaches various fisheries and marine science-related subjects such as in Fisheries Management, Fisheries Laws, Ichthyology, and Microbiology. He is also affiliated with the Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology and the Department of Marine Environmental Engineering of the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, Taiwan as a PhD Fellow. Mr. Albarico has almost a decade of research and wetlands management experience. He has been working in mangrove diversity, ecology, and management. He is among the few scientists to study the taxonomy and ecology of mud lobsters (a mangrove resident) in the Philippines. Recently, he has been involved in estuarine and coastal pollution and assessments and plankton biogeochemistry research in southern Taiwan. His research involves environmental and anthropogenic impacts on plankton and the trophic transfer of persistent pollutants at higher trophic levels. His research integrates the relationship between environmental, ecological processes, and community dynamics on the fate and transfer of contaminants.

Dr. Sah is Research Associate Professor, and his research focuses on ecosystem processes and their management implications in the seasonal wetlands in Everglades, coastal wetlands of the Southeast Saline Everglades, and the tropical and sub-tropical upland forests of the Miami Rock Ridge and adjacent islands in South Florida.  

Dr. Sah’s expertise is in studying vegetation-environment relationships and effects of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on pattern and processes in various types of plant communities, including upland forests and floodplains, wet prairies, marshes and other seasonal wetlands.

His research approach includes the use of multivariate statistical techniques to interpret relationships among vegetation and environmental variables in large data sets, spatial integration of the analytical results via extensive GIS databases, and system dynamics modeling.  He is also involved in inter-disciplinary research on socio-economic issues, conservation, and natural resource management in Nepal.
