Research interests Biological fixation and subsequent
sinking of organic carbon constitutes a net removal of carbon from the
surface ocean, which plays an important role in partitioning of carbon
dioxide between the ocean and atmosphere. The vast subtropical regions of the
ocean contribute at least to 30% of the carbon export to the deep ocean. They
have been traditionally considered relatively homogeneous within the
boundaries of the province. However a more dynamic picture has emerged in the
last decade. My research uses a combination of altimeter images, time series
data analyses, observations from specific cruises, and ocean model
simulations to asses the mechanisms that control primary production in the
upper ocean, and in particular the processes responsible for intermittent
nutrients supply to tropical and subtropical plankton communities. Specific
research lines include: •Global biogeochemical
cycles in marine subtropical ecosystems •Biogeochemical role of
ocean (sub)mesoscale turbulence •Application of
measurements of microstructure turbulence to the study of biological
processes in the ocean |
