The Northwest Atlantic (NWA) is a highly productive region of the ocean, supporting important fisheries. The phytoplankton and other microbes at the base of the food chain supply food and energy to higher trophic levels. Global warming is causing rapid changes in the NWA, leading to decreasing oxygen, changing current patterns, increases in sea surface temperature and stratification that are leading to changes in productivity and in nutrient supply. The research investigates the response of these changes on the microbial community, using time-series observations, coupled with experiments and novel omics approaches, focusing on the nitrogen cycle and N2-fixation in particular.

西北大西洋（NWA）是一个高生产力的海洋区域，支持重要的渔业。浮游植物和其他微生物在食物链的基础供应食物和能量，以更高的营养水平。全球变暖正在造成西北大西洋的迅速变化，导致氧气减少，海流模式改变，海面温度上升，分层，导致生产力和营养供应的变化。该研究调查了这些变化对微生物群落的反应，使用时间序列观察，加上实验和新的组学方法，特别关注氮循环和N2固定。
