| Research Experience: | Ecological Student on the Patagonian Shelf (R/V ROGER REVELLE) |
| Research Objectives: | To document the factors regulating the spatial-temporal distribution of the coccolithophore blooms, using a combination of underway, satellite, and discrete sampling and to examine the effects of ocean acidification on algal optical properties, coccolithophore concentrations and particulate inorganic carbon concentrations. This research provides a better understanding of coccolithophore ecology that is critical for modeling complex biogeochemical processes that regulate phytoplankton production and the biological pump. |
