Welcome to the Marine Macroecology and Biogeochemistry Lab
We are an interdisciplinary research group interested in large-scale ecological, evolutionary and biogeochemical phenomena in the oceans. Our primary goal is to understand and anticipate the effects of climate change on marine organisms, specifically phytoplankton using a combination of theoretical and data-driven models, remote-sensed, field and laboratory data, and the fossil record.
Global ocean biogeographic provinces maps and data now available for download. The animation shows monthly provinces based on MODIS/Aqua data from 2003-2007.
