Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry Program

The Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry Program studies how living organisms and chemical processes in the ocean interact. It explores how marine life, from tiny plankton to large animals, influence and are affected by the ocean's chemistry and climate. This research helps us understand how the ocean supports life, regulates Earth's climate, and responds to environmental changes. By examining these complex interactions, the program aims to improve predictions about ocean health, carbon cycling, and global climate impacts, providing crucial insights for sustainable management and policy decisions.
