Bio

I am a biological oceanographer and ecologist interested in the physiology and ecology of marine microbes, as well as their macroecology, biogeography, and biodiversity. I am particularly interested in the impacts of climate variability on marine ecosystems, and how these changes may feed back on global biogeochemical cycles.

Research Topics: Biological Impacts of Climate Change, Ecosystem Dynamics and Theory, Marine Microbiology, Physiology of Marine Organisms, Plankton Ecology and Food-Web Interactions, Population and Community Ecology
