Welcome!
I am a biological oceanographer/marine microbial ecologist who addresses the fundamental question:

“What factors control phytoplankton growth, their nutrition and distribution in the ocean?”

More specifically, how do the multiple interactions of light, and macro- and micro-nutrients, affect the physiology of marine phytoplankton, and hence determine their growth rates, biochemical processes, and distribution patterns in the sea from coastal to polar environments?
