Ph.D - University of Georgia, Athens - 1996
M.S. - University of Alaska (Fairbanks) - 1990
B.A. - College of the Atlantic - 1984
Matt Hare joined the Department of Natural Resources in 2007. His research spans from conservation genetics to evolutionary genomics with a focus on marine and estuarine biota. Most of his research utilizes genetic markers to measure processes such as selection and gene flow in natural populations to address basic and applied questions.
Research
His current research examines (i) intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms maintaining a genetic step cline in oyster populations along eastern Florida, (ii) effective population size and demographic connectivity among Chesapeake Bay oyster populations, (iii) impacts of hatchery-based supportive breeding on the genetic health of Chesapeake oyster populations, (iv) discovery and description of cryptic species, and (v) phylogeography of marine parasites
