He has published three books focusing on science for the general public, co-founded the microdocumentary series Short Attention Span Science Theater, and appeared in numerous ocean documentaries. After receiving his BA in biology from Johns Hopkins University, he attained his PhD in zoology from the University of Washington with a concentration in marine ecology.

Her research focuses on modeling ecological and evolutionary responses to global environmental change, including understanding potential drivers of resilience in coral reefs. She is particularly interested in evaluating the impact of management options on populations, looking at gene flow and local adaptation, and has initiated a project focusing on the potential for managed relocation of species at risk to climate change.

She studies the physiological mechanisms marine animals use to survive in their changing environment and how this leads to differential success across species. She is involved in ongoing work modeling corals' potential adaptive ability to respond to rising temperatures and ocean acidification based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change future climate scenarios.

Smith is a research associate professor of marine biology at the Center for Marine and Environmental Studies at the University of the Virgin Islands. His research interests include coral reef refuges and refugia from chronic and acute disturbance, mechanisms of resistance and recovery of coral reef ecosystems to natural and anthropogenic disturbance, coral–algal–herbivore interactions across seascapes, and biophysical processes controlling coral reef ecology.
