Description of Research |
|
Summary Statement of Research Interests |
|
| I am interested in the cycling of carbon between the ocean, atmosphere, and the land and in particular how anthropogenic changes affect the carbon cycle. My work has focused on time series measurements of particle fluxes in the ocean using moored sediment traps. Complimenting those measurements are lab-based studies where particle remineralization rates were measured with perturbations in temperature and oxygen concentration to simulate changing oceanic conditions. This work allows me to make predictions of how the ocean-atmosphere cycling of carbon may change as we experience global warming. | |
