This includes but is not limited to the causes and consequences of \u2018harmful algal blooms\u2019 (HABs), events resulting in negative ecological, health, and\/or economic impacts.\u00a0 To achieve this goal, I develop and apply molecular tools to study plankton populations in situ and combine these advances with field and laboratory studies.\u00a0 Since phytoplankton dynamics are central to ecosystem productivity, I also try to understand their linkages with trophic structure and function.<\/p>\n I am actively\u00a0searching for talented, enthusiastic students (undergraduate and graduate) and researchers to join my group.\u00a0 Please email me with questions and\/or to schedule a phone call.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_4_font=”Open Sans|600|||on||||” header_4_text_color=”#E71939″ disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_4_font=”Open Sans|600|||on||||” header_4_text_color=”#E71939″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Oceanography is fun!\u00a0 Interacting with students is the best part of my job, and I believe that students learn through multiple information sources and by active participation.\u00a0 This includes discussions of primary literature, lectures, writing assignments, and hands-on field and laboratory experience.\u00a0 I encourage students to explore scientific topics that they find interesting and to develop research questions and\/or hypotheses around those subjects.\u00a0 \u00a0I also believe in substantial outreach and help students effectively communicate their findings through conferences, publications, workshops, and electronically.\u200b<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_4_font=”Open Sans|600|||on||||” header_4_text_color=”#E71939″ disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Publications, Last 10 Years <\/strong>(visit\u00a0my Google Citations<\/a>\u00a0for a complete list):<\/p>\n Lead authorship by students denoted as (*) my lab or ($) a colleague\u2019s lab.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em>*Sitta, K., Callahan, T., Doll, C., Mortensen, R., Reed M., and D.I.
