We study how marine phytoplankton communities respond to environmental change and regulate the global carbon cycle.

We use our custom-built SeaFlow cytometer at sea to measure phytoplankton continuously in real time across ocean basins.

We build statistical models to understand how the environment influences phytoplankton growth and community dynamics.
