She received her Ph.D. through the Boston University Marine Program at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. For over 25 years her research has focused on the ecology of estuarine ecosystems with regard to nitrogen dynamics. In the Waquoit Bay National Science Foundation LMER (Land Margin Ecosystems Research) program she linked nutrient loading in densely populated Cape Cod to effects on ecosystem metabolism, including anoxia and fish kill events. Most recently Charlene has turned her attention to science education reform. She runs several national programs that help ecology and biology faculty improve their teaching. In addition, she is Director of Hampshire's Center for Teaching and Learning. Charlene won Mystery Writers of America's McCloy Award for new writers. "Cold Blood, Hot Sea", first in her Mara Tusconi Oceanography Mystery Series, is a Foreword Reviews INDIES Finalist. "Demon Spirit, Devil Sea", book two, an "enchanting tale from an ancient corner of the earth" (Mary Woodbury, curator of Eco-fiction), won an IPPY (Independent Publishers) award. A thrilling contribution to the new wave of cli-fi hitting the shelves, Cold Blood, Hot Sea pits climate change scientists against big energy conspirators, a genre of fiction that deals with the impacts of climate change and global warming. Cli-fi, like the science behind it, often presents bleak visions of the future. When a colleague is killed aboard the research vessel Intrepid, oceanographer Mara Tusconi believes it's no accident. As she investigates, Mara becomes entangled in a scheme involving powerful energy executives with much to lose if her department colleagues continue their climate change research. Mara's career, and life, is on the line, threatened by intrigue as big and dark as the ocean. Marine ecologist and award, winning environmental educator Charlene D'Avanzo studied the New England coast for forty years. As a scientist, D'Avanzo sees firsthand the effects of climate change, and as a college professor, she knows the importance of storytelling in bringing ideas to life. Today she uses mysteries to immerse readers in Maine waters' stunning beauty and grave threats. An avid sea kayaker, D'Avanzo lives in Yarmouth, Maine. Cold Blood, Hot Sea is her first novel.
