Assistant Director of Research, Maine Sea Grant Profile Damian Brady is an assistant research professor in the School of Marine Sciences at the Darling Marine Center. He earned his doctorate at the University of Delaware in 2008. His research combines approaches from disciplines including marine biology, biogeochemistry and environmental engineering to address questions about water quality and ecosystem function. Since beginning work at the University of Maine in 2010, Brady has studied how coasts and estuaries are affected by human uses as varied as aquaculture, offshore wind energy development, and eutrophication. Brady is the environmental monitoring lead for UMaine’s offshore wind energy projects and assistant director of a National Science Foundation project examining how climate change influences farmer decision-making and the consequences for local water quality. Brady oversees Maine Sea Grant’s research portfolio, including two-year research projects and program development projects. He serves as a liaison between Sea Grant faculty, students and staff at UMaine and other research institutions, and the Marine Extension Team.
