Organic Carbon Biogeochemistry

We focus primarily on carbon and nitrogen cycles and the distribution and movement of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the ocean. These efforts consist of both time series studies as well as survey and process work in various ocean basins.

 

Research Topics

•  Marine biogeochemistry

•  Regional oceanography in a global context

•  Net community production of DOM

•  Deep ocean DOM

 

•  Carbon and nitrogen cycling

•  Dissolved organic matter (DOM) cycling

•  Export of DOM in overturning circulation

•  Atmospheric controls on ocean biogeochemistry
