Research Area: Ocean biogeochemistry with a focus on particle-mediated carbon cycling; the biological carbon pump; observations from autonomous platforms
搁别蝉别补谤肠丑:听 My broad research focus is on the chemical transformations and physical fluxes of naturally-occurring particles in the ocean, with an emphasis on rapid processes that alter these particles as they cross major earth system boundaries鈥攅.g., into the ocean across coastlines, downward from the sunlit surface ocean through the 鈥渢wilight zone鈥, and upward from the bottom through sediment resuspension, or through hydrothermal vents into cold, deep waters. The unambiguous observation of these processes in the ocean requires measurements at spatiotemporal resolutions that are sufficient to separate physical gradients, biological processes, and chemical transformations of particles. My research involves development of novel applications for in situ, optical particle sensors; process models incorporating the results of laboratory experiments under controlled conditions; interdisciplinary field observations; and synoptic, remote-sensing observations.
