Sabo, John L.
Professor and Director, ByWater Institute
John Sabo is a professor in the Department of Coastal and River Science and Engineering in the School of Science and Engineering. He also directs Tulane’s ByWater Institute. As a river food web ecologist, Sabo has designed and implemented large-scale field experiments to understand the role of aquatic-terrestrial energy flow on terrestrial food web dynamics as well as the dynamic effects of groundwater on surface water food webs. This research has been published in top journals including Ecology, Global Change Biology, Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, and Science. Sabo’s work has been supported by over $14 million in research grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Defense, MacArthur Foundation, and private sector companies like Intel Corp. and Levi Strauss & Co. Sabo has degrees in fisheries (University of Washington) and ecology (University of California– Berkeley). He is also founder and CEO of Future H2O-B, a private-sector benefit corporation that serves science to Fortune 500 companies and transboundary river organizations worldwide.
