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. (Researcher ID B-9626-2008.)

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. (Researcher ID B-2245-2008.)

Phytoplankton responses to climate change.

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