Overview

Andrew C. Baker is affiliated with the University of Miami in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences. Baker's work covers a variety of interdisciplinary subfields including Ecology, Oceanography, Global and Planetary Change, Economics and Econometrics, and Immunology.

Baker's main research topics focus extensively on coral and marine ecosystems studies. Other areas of scholarly interest encompass marine and coastal plant biology, coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, marine and fisheries research, aquaculture disease management and microbiota, marine biology and ecology research, and marine sponges and natural products.

Among recent publications, several notable papers include:

  • How much should we trust staggered difference-in-differences estimates? (2022, Journal of Financial Economics)
  • How Much Should We Trust Staggered Difference-In-Differences Estimates? (2021, SSRN Electronic Journal)
  • Designing a blueprint for coral reef survival (2021, Biological Conservation)
  • Dynamic symbioses reveal pathways to coral survival through prolonged heatwaves (2020, Nature Communications)
  • Chlorophyll fluorescence - A tool to assess photosynthetic performance and stress photophysiology in symbiotic marine invertebrates and seaplants (2021, Marine Pollution Bulletin)

Baker frequently collaborates with other researchers. Frequent co-authors include Ana M. Palacio-Castro, Ross Cunning, Stephanie Rosales, Olivia M. Williamson, and Diego Lirman.

Their research is often published in several recurring venues such as Coral Reefs, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), SSRN Electronic Journal, Frontiers in Marine Science, and Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research).

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring online education can open up diverse pathways for students interested in Ecology and Evolution, as well as those considering healthcare careers. Flexible online degree options make it easier to transition into new fields or advance within your current profession—especially in high-demand sectors like nursing and environmental science.

For those in nursing looking to upskill quickly, rn to bsn 6 months programs offer an accelerated route to higher qualifications. Similarly, bridge options such as adn to fnp can enable registered nurses to become family nurse practitioners—roles which may intersect with public health and environmental health research.

Prospective students from non-nursing backgrounds can also explore direct entry msn programs for non nurses online. These programs allow for a quick entry into advanced nursing, sometimes drawing on knowledge from biology, ecology, or related sciences.

When comparing institutions, factors like flexibility, cost, and accreditation matter. See how different schools stack up by reading about best value nursing education online wgu and how these could influence your educational and career journey.
