We are developing innovative, interdisciplinary numerical models that allow us to understand how dynamics occurring at the scale of individual microbes impact large-scale ecosystem processes such as rates of global carbon cycling. We are tackling fundamental challenges in Biological Oceanography related to evolution and cycling of organic carbon \u2013 work that will allow us to generate more robust predictions of what our future world will look like.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Research Specialties<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Interactions between climate and ecosystem composition and function<\/li>\n<li>Impact of fine-scale heterogeneity and variability on microbial ecosystem dynamics<\/li>\n<li>Impact of marine microbial plasticity, adaptation and evolution on carbon and nutrient cycling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>Honors and Awards<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Albert S.
