Description of the Book:

Our long-term goal is to understand how physical-biological, biological-biological and chemical-biological interactions control the patch structure and ecology of phytoplankton inhabiting coastal shelves, upwelling areas, fjords and banks. We are especially interested in ways in which species-specific properties, including colony size and shape (diatoms) and motility (flagellates and photosynthetic ciliates) interact with physical processes to regulate phytoplankton dynamics and spatial-temporal distribution patterns. We wish to understand these interactions in sufficient detail to be able to predict bloom dynamics, biodiversity, size structure, and the impact of species-specific characteristics of the phytoplankton on ocean optics
