PROJECT EXPERIENCE
2011 - present U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Environmental Cooperative Science Center (ECSC)
Kim CV Page 2 of 12 A Regional Ecosystem Approach for the Conservation and sustainable management of coastal and marine resources Educate and train a new generation of scientists who are versed in NOAA-related sciences and the new U.S. framework for coastal and ocean planning, and to produce integrated research products in support of management, Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning (CMSP) and NOAA’s long-term goals for healthy oceans and resilient coastal communities and economies as articulated in the NOAA Strategic Plan
2007 - 2010 U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Oyster Disease Research Program Oyster Sex Ratio Study Project: Examine oyster gonadal tissue microscopically for an oyster sex ratio study for Delaware Bay, which is included in population dynamics model due to critical need to correctly model size and age dependency of switch from male to female in oysters
2004 - 2005 National Fisheries Institute (NFI) – Scientific Monitoring Committee Surf Clam Condition Index Project: Conducted a survey of surf clam (Spisula solidissima) stocks from northern New Jersey to southern Virginia; Evaluated the progress of mortality, apparently related to warming of the Mid-Atlantic Bight; Measured condition index at 104 locations from Delmarva to northern New Jersey
2003 National Fisheries Institute (NFI) – Scientific Monitoring Committee Surf Clam Histopathology, and Surf Clam and Ocean Quahog Survey Project: Carried out histopathological surveys of surf clams collected along the southeast trending ‘mortality’ line to further investigate the proximate causes of mortality; Conducted surveys of surf clam and ocean quahog stocks in an area from northern New Jersey to southern Virginia to evaluate the progress of mortality related to warming of the Mid-Atlantic Bight; Measured condition index of surf clams collected at locations from Delmarva to Long Island
1995 - present U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program Mussel Watch (MW) Project: Document occurrence of parasites and pathologies in sentinel bivalves collected from east, west, Gulf and Great Lakes coasts; Describe and compare geographic distributions of parasites and pathologies between different bivalve species and between different geographic regions within the same bivalve species; Determine provincial boundaries and foci of infection for different parasite types, and influence of provincial boundaries on the distributional patterns;
Kim CV Page 3 of 12 Evaluate, using prevalence data, trends in parasite taxon richness; Examine relationships between parasitism and pathology in sentinel bivalves on large geographic scales; Examine relationships between parasitism, pathology and contaminant body burdens on regional scales with emphasis on identifying parasite assemblages and contaminant suites that resolve as significant relationships within the complex medley of potential contaminant/parasite/pathology combinations
1993 - 1995 U.S. Department of the Interior Mineral Management Service (MMS) Gulf of Mexico Offshore Operations Monitoring Experiment (GOOMEX) Program: Examined the abundance, sex ratio and size-frequency distribution of mobile epifaunal populations associated with gas-producing platforms in the northwest Gulf of Mexico; Examined the effects of a suite of gas-producing platform-associated variables on macroepifaunal population structure by assessing reproductive state and population health as measured by the prevalence and intensity of parasitism and pathology; Identified general and location-specific platform effects, including those related to depth; developed immunological probes to measure reproductive effort in portunid crabs around gas- producing platforms
1992 - 1994 U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program Mussel Watch (MW) Project: Examined geographic trends in contaminant concentration and selected biological variables over the first 8 years of the Project in the Gulf of Mexico; Assessed influence of interannual changes in climate and in local environmental factors in determining the state of key biological indices of population health in oysters; Assessed influence of climate change and local watershed-dependent processes in determining the body burden of key contaminants in oyster populations; Related temporal variation in contaminant body burden to co-occurring changes in population structure and health
SUPERVISORY EXPERIENCE
2010 Fall Semester - 2011 Spring Semester During this period, as part of NASA CMIS Space Grant, I trained and worked together with two undergraduate students (Joshalyn R. Hines and Terry C. Wilborn) on the biology of bivalve mollusks (e.g. oyster), the effects of climate change on interannual variation in parasites and population attributes in Mississippi oysters, and the data analysis. Under my supervision, they started with gathering and organizing all the data we need, and I helped them with the calculation of prevalence and infection intensity values. We presented our results at the Seventy-Fifth Annual Mississippi Academy of Sciences Meeting (Hattiesburg, MS) in February, 2011.

5/28/09 – 5/29/09 During this period, I trained and supervised Dr. Matthew Hare (Associate Professor, Department of Natural Resources, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY) and his postdoc, Dr. Martha Burford, on oyster gonad analysis. They came to Rutgers Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory to learn how to identify different oyster reproductive stages and some parasites observed in their histological slides made of eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) from several locations along the Atlantic coast of Florida. Under my supervision, they started with examining oyster histological slides from US Mussel Watch Project I prepared and then they worked on their own oyster slides. I helped them how to rank the oyster development stages.
9/13/06 – 12/21/06 During this period, I supervised Larraitz Garmendia, a Ph.D. graduate student from Department of Zoology and Cell Biology, School of Sciences and Technology, University of the Basque Country, SPAIN, on bivalve histopathology. She came to Rutgers Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory to learn how to identify parasites and pathologic conditions in mytilid mussels. She is involved with a Project, “Integrated assessment of the impact of the Prestige Oil Spill in Galicia and in the Gulf of Biscay: toxicological, ecological, productive and socioeconomical aspects”. Under my supervision, she started with examining histological slides from US Mussel Watch Project and later she worked on her own slides from Spain. I also helped her with calculation of prevalence and infection intensity values, and with statistical analysis seeking the potential relationship of parasites and diseases in mussels with contaminant body burden.
