Research Description:
I am currently working on the Canadian SOLAS project with C.S. Wong to describe new production and CO2 flux at the air-sea interface from satellite imagery of the North Pacific Ocean. I am also involved in data analysis of a recent iron enrichment experiment (SERIES) near Station Papa in the sub-arctic North Pacific gyre, and am helping with the ongoing sediment-trap time series occurring at Station Papa. Prior to arriving at IOS, my research focused on rates and mechanisms of remineralization of organic matter and biogenic silica; nutrient cycling; relationships between plankton ecology and material export from surface waters; use of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to interpret present and past oceanic conditions; anoxic basins; and coastal oceanography.
