Aquatic microbial ecology and the processes of biogeochemistry are coupled and synergistic. The aim of this book is to highlight some perspectives, insights, and data in the coupled fi elds of aquatic microbial ecology and biogeochemistry when viewed through the lens of collaborative duos—dual career couples. Their synergy and collaborative interactions have contributed substantially to our contemporary understanding of pattern, process, and dynamics. This is thus a book by dual career couples, not about them.
A great deal has been written about dual career couples—the challenges they face in job searches, spousal hiring negotiations as well as the daily challenges and rewards of working in like-minded professions, often in shared offi ces or work environments (e.g., Ferber and Loeb 1997). Little has been written to highlight the important contributions many dual career couples have made to contemporary aquatic sciences. This book aims to do just that.
