Research Overview
I specialize in the taxonomy and ecology of marine phytoplankton. Recently, I have been focusing on work in the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea and polar waters. Typically, my work focuses on primary productivity, phytoplankton/nutrient interactions, and pigment distributions.
Currently, I am participating in the U.S. GLOBEC initiative (Gulf of Alaska) and Shelf Basin Interactions in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas.
