My research interests focus on the eco-physiological controls of phytoplankton community structure, feedbacks between phytoplankton community structure and climate change, and the macroevolutionary history of phytoplankton communities.

I use mathematical models to study the marine biosphere, models of phytoplankton growth, and environmental influences on the distribution of phytoplankton in the upper ocean.

I am adding a size-structured phytoplankton community model to an OGCM.

I am working on controlled lab studies of phytoplankton physiology – responses to stress and changing environmental conditions. For more information please visit Martina Loebl's webpage.

I trained as a chemist and am now working in the wonderful world of phytoplankton.

I am interested in macroecological patterns in phytoplankton community structure and the balance between phytoplankton growth and zooplankton grazing.

I’m the scientific and education coordinator at Joggins Fossil Institute and an NSERC post-doctoral fellow at Mount Allison.

I am working on a dynamic optimization model of resource allocation in photosynthesis. My previous work (at Arizona State) investigated microbial quiescence and resource limitation.
