Maribeth Gidley is an assistant scientist with the University of Miami’s Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies assigned to the NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory. As an environmental public health physician and microbiologist, she works closely with the AOML Environmental Molecular Microbiology Program.
Her research focuses on the interactions of beach and water quality with public health and coastal community health. Some of her projects include: beach exposure epidemiologic studies, impacts of climate change and sea level rise on coastal communities and human health, interactions of harmful algal blooms (HABs) with coastal communities, and prevalence of pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus (including Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) in the coastal environment, particularly at recreational beaches. Much of her research intersects with the broad concept of the Oceans and Human Health field.
She received her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Tulsa, a Master’s (dual tract) in Microbiology and Education from the University of South Florida, Master of Public Health Tropical and Infectious Disease Tract from the University of South Florida. She received a Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine from Nova Southeastern University, and has completed residencies in Family Medicine and Public Health/Preventive Medicine.
