Overview

  • I am a microbial oceanographer studying the role of marine microbes (mainly bacteria) in the ocean’s carbon cycle. My lab is measuring rates and activities of microbes in the water column, sediments, and sinking particles known as marine snow, to address the role of heterotrophic bacterial in the biological carbon pump, and microbial responses to anthropogenic impacts on marine environments such as oil spills, plastic pollution, and increasing sea surface temperature.
