Microscopic phytoplankton in the ocean use light energy to drive the uptake of CO2 into organic matter, and thus drive major environmental processes. The Chair in Phytoplankton Ecophysiology will study this phytoplankton photosynthesis interacting with environmental variations, to understand the distributions and activities of major phytoplankton groups. The Chair will use molecular quantitations of key enzymes to understand how different phytoplankton allocate nutrients to cope with environmental fluctuations, with parallel measurements of their physiological performance, to understand how phytoplankton groups compete and grow. The work aims to measure key phytoplankton activities in ways useful to ecologists and environmental modelers.

海洋中的微型浮游植物利用光能将二氧化碳吸收到有机物中，从而推动主要的环境过程。浮游植物生态生理学教席将研究这种浮游植物光合作用与环境变化的相互作用，以了解主要浮游植物类群的分布和活动。主席将使用关键酶的分子定量来了解不同的浮游植物如何分配营养物质以应对环境波动，并同时测量它们的生理表现，以了解浮游植物群体如何竞争和生长。这项工作旨在以对生态学家和环境建模人员有用的方式测量关键的浮游植物活动。
