Phytoplankton are photosynthetic microbes that constitute the base of aquatic food webs and regulate the biogeochemical cycle of carbon. Dr. Finkels research program is focused on understanding how environmental and climate change will alter the structure and function of marine phytoplankton communities and the ocean carbon cycle. The results from Dr. Finkels group will be used to develop the next generation of ecosystem models of intermediate complexity that can project changes in phytoplankton biogeography and production under a variety of climate scenarios.

浮游植物是光合微生物，构成水生食物网的基础并调节碳的生物地球化学周期。 Finkels研究计划的重点是了解环境和气候变化将如何改变海洋浮游植物群落和海洋碳循环的结构和功能。 Finkels Broup博士的结果将用于开发下一代的中间复杂性生态系统模型，该模型可以在各种气候场景下投射浮游植物生物地理学和生产的变化。
