Abstract: The two major categories of study are general ecology and
biogeochemistry. The biogeochemical studies clearly tie to a major MPML
goal of research leading towards understanding of the cycling of
materials in atoll ecosystems. In general, the listed biogeochemical
studies represent inventories of materials
(including materials of
potential medical importance) in various ecosystem components and
assessing material fluxes. Within the general field biology ecology
studies, there is a shift towards quantification and an increasing
proportion of studies related to population dynamics. Material fluxes

(in the form of food-web dynamics) figure prominently in the studies.
Both of these shifts are also consistent with the goal stated above.
MPML remains an important site for the study of environmental
physiology and possible radiation-induced genetic alterations.
Oceanographic and physiographic studies are leading towards a better
understanding of physical advective processes and ecosystem compartment
characteristics. Terrestrial studies are being given increasing
attention, in large part because of the practical importance of the
terrestrial environment to the returning Enewetakese. Finally, two
studies represent a venture into a new field for MPML: training of
students and teachers in the Marshall Islands.;
