Harold Marshall is a freshwater/marine ecologist who has been a faculty member at Old Dominion University since 1963, was Chairman of the Department of Biological Sciences for 21 years (1969-1990), and retired in June 1995. He presently holds a Professor Emeritus position at the University. His research interests have emphasized phytoplankton studies in freshwater, and from the continental shelf waters of eastern United States, the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal rivers, in addition to studies of harmful bloom and toxin producing algal species, with over 170 publications in scientific journals. He is a past recipient of Old Dominion University's Tonelson Distinguished Faculty Award, the University's Faculty Research Award, and is a Fellow and past President of the Virginia Academy of Science.
