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.
