Research fields :
Current research is focused on Arctic marine microbes, especially planktonic microorganisms (phytoplankton and other protists, archaea and bacteria). These organisms are responsible for global carbon and mineral cycling on a planetary scale. My laboratory addresses such questions as: How many micro-organisms are there in the water column? What is their genetic and metabolic diversity? What factors determine growth and mortality?
