Summary
As a postdoctoral fellow at the U. Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography, my research focuses on eukaryotic unicellular (protistan) plankton food web dynamics, and how these dynamics are influenced by ocean physics, particularly those associated with mixing of the surface layer, and how these biophysical interactions influence the flow of carbon in the ocean. I have worked primarily in the North Atlantic, and along the Western Antarctic Peninsula. I received a Bachelor of Sciences degree in fresh water and marine biology from the University of New Hampshire, and after a Pelagic Ecosystem apprenticeship at U. of Washington Friday Harbor lab, I pursued and received a MS and a PhD in Oceanography from U. of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography.
