Dr. Hilary Close is an Associate Professor at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science at the University of Miami. Her lab uses field sampling and an array of laboratory techniques to develop and apply organic and natural isotopic indicators for identifying the sources and degradative pathways of organic matter in marine water … Continued
I’m fascinated by the ocean and the microscopic world that shapes most of the processes defining life as we know it, even though we cannot see it with our eyes. My research focuses on microbial interactions in the surface ocean, particularly metabolite exchange between phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria. I am interested in how these interactions … Continued
Deepika is a biogeochemist and microbial ecologist studying compositional and physiological changes in marine microbes with varying environmental forcings. Her research focuses on the interconnection of microbes and the biogeochemical cycling of elements in various aquatic environments. She is currently investigating how environmental forcings such as nutrient limitations and warming influence the physiological responses of … Continued
I am a research scientist with formal training in chemistry and marine sciences, specializing in marine biogeochemistry. I obtained my undergraduate degree as Licenciada en Química from the Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (Argentina). I completed my Ph.D. in Marine Sciences at the University of South Alabama (USA), where my doctoral research focused on … Continued
I am a PhD student at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, with a research focus on the biogeochemical cycling and supply of nitrogen in subtropical gyres. My work investigates the mechanisms of nitrogen supply to surface waters, utilizing dual nitrate isotope ratios (δ¹⁵N and δ¹⁸O), phytoplankton biomass (δ¹⁵N), and total dissolved nitrogen to … Continued
Bernarda Cornejo is an Ecuadorian filmmaker, cinematographer, photographer, animator, and creative producer. She studied Media Arts at Emily Carr University (Canada), where her short film Aguacero premiered at the Ottawa International Animation Festival. For almost eight years, she has also worked as a fixer for international documentary productions, including projects for BBC and ZDF, and … Continued
Benedetto Barone is a co-PI of the SUBSEA project investigating the ecological and biogeochemical dynamics of the open ocean with a focus on phytoplankton photosynthesis and particle export. He is interested in characterizing the physical-biological dynamics associated with turbulent mixing and mesoscale eddies. He uses autonomous vehicles to collect underwater measurements including bio-optical proxies for … Continued
The fundamental objective of my research is to develop an enhanced and mechanistic understanding of the chemical and biological processes that define the fluxes, standing stocks and productivity of the oceanic component of Earth’s life support system. Accordingly, my research skill set and interests are broad, spanning the following topical areas: phytoplankton physiology, nitrogen fixation, … Continued
