Thank You!Thank you to David Lang and the Experiment Foundation for their contribution to the success of this project! I’m excited to be a part of the research effort to advance knowledge regarding nutrient limitation in Phytoplankton throughout the Pacific Ocean! As we approach the end of the research cruise by June 9, our next steps is review our data, determine the best course of data analysis, and write out a conclusion based on our results.     

 
Final trajectory of the Research Vessel Atlantis Cruise beginning in Golfito, Costa Rica to San Diego, California from May 2nd to June 9th of 2023.
Thank you!

Nutrient Limitation in Phytoplankton

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

Marine phytoplankton activity is abundant at a global scale and play a major role in the carbon cycle. However, the availability of nutrients is limited in the ocean, thus restraining the activity of phytoplankton. Proposed ocean-based climate solutions include adding nutrients to trigger phytoplankton blooms, but previous research indicates the impact is uncertain. We will address the nutrient requirements and how the cells use these nutrients in phytoplankton.
