Phytoplankton are photosynthetic microbes that constitute the base of aquatic food webs and regulate the biogeochemical cycle of carbon. Dr. Finkel¿s 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. Finkel¿s 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循环。芬克尔博士的研究项目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的结构和功能以及海洋碳循环。该小组将用于开发下一代中等复杂性的生态系统模型，该模型可以预测各种气候情景下浮游植物生物地理和生产的变化。
