This project uses a model pelagic gastropod, Limacina retroversa, to assess the responses of wild caught pteropods to natural fluctuations of carbon dioxide in the Gulf of Maine
This collaboration joins bioacoustics experts, carbonate chemists and molecular biologists, to determine how carbon dioxide affects the physiology and distribution of pteropods in the NW Atlantic and NE Pacific Oceans
The goal of the EXport Processes in the Ocean from Remote Sensing (EXPORTS) project is to develop a predictive understanding of the export and fate of global ocean net primary production (NPP) and its implications for present and future climates
The goals of this study are to investigate the role of different zooplankton taxa on both particle aggregate formation and in particle transformation, and to compare and characterize the particles generated by the zooplankton communities with those collected by particle traps.
The objective of this project is to improve the ability of scientists to understand and predict zooplankton contributions to the movement of carbon and nitrogen in the ocean by detailing daily changes in physiological processes of these organisms
