| Research Experience: | Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms in the Pacific Northwest (ECOHAB-PNW) - Project Web Site |
| Research Objectives: | Study the physiology, toxicology, ecology and oceanography of toxic Pseudo-nitzschia species off the Pacific Northwest coast. (The study area includes both an eddy and also a typical coastal upwelling region.) Examine the key factors that are responsible for high densities of the toxic algae. Determine the biophysical mechanisms of Pseudo-nitzschia advection to the coast. |
