Plankton ecology; long-term ecological research; modeling of physiology & population dynamics; scaling single cells to global systems; technology development; automated imaging & machine learning
Interests: Biophysical interactions, Data science, Ecology & ecosystem modeling Profile
Our research focuses on the biochemistry, evolution, & regulation of cytochrome P450 enzymes & their roles in physiology & toxicology, using animal models & organisms from the sea.
biogeochemistry and geobiology with the following themes: lipid chemistry of geologically significant microbes and microbially dominated ecostsyems; organic and isotopic indicators of climate change, biotic evolution and mass extinction; age- and environment-diagnostic biomarkers in sediments and petroleum; Archean, Proterozoic and extraterrestrialbiogeochemical fossils
We examine how & how quickly marine populations respond to novel or changing conditions, with a focus on using marine species invasions as natural experiments in rapid adaptation.
