Is microplastic pollution reducing the ocean's ability to take up CO2?

Microplastics are accumulating in the sea surface microlayer (the uppermost millimeter of the ocean surface...

A biogeochemical profile of the seafloor

There is a huge gap in knowledge of deep seafloor habitats. Current methods of studying the deep seafloor...

Investigating sage ecosystems as hotspots for atmospheric methane removal

Soil bacteria remove ~30 Mt of methane/year from the atmosphere, but this rate varies strongly with land...

Study of oceanographic and meteorological variables in MPA through remote sensing.

Climate change and events that modify the global temperature and precipitation dynamics such as “El Niño...

How do microplastics interact with other particles in aquatic environments?

In this research project, we will use controlled biofouling experiments to quantify the progressive colonization...
