Microbial ecology and biogeochemistry of the ocean
-
Understanding the microbial processes that control carbon sequestration in the ocean; bio-mechanistic understanding of the biological pump.
-
Investigating the enzymatic processes behind sulfur-gas production in the ocean and elucidating the broader biological factors influencing their emissions from marine ecosystems.
-
Symbiotic interactions between algae and bacteria and their impact on nutrient transformation and circulation.
-
Plankton adaptation to life in a fluctuating environment (e.g., in response to shifts in nutrient quality, micronutrient availability, light intensity, or temperature)
-
Plankton adaptation to life in suspension; growth and survival without surfaces.
