The public health, tourism, fisheries, and ecosystem impacts from harmful algal blooms
(HABs) have all increased over the past few decades. This has led to heightened scientific …

Research of complex systems and problems, entities with many dependencies, is often
reductionist. The reductionist approach splits systems or problems into different components …

Larval transport is defined as the horizontal translocation of a larva between points x1, y1

Roughly 25 years ago,“ecogenomic sensors” were conceived of as autonomous devices
that would be used to apply molecular analytical techniques below the sea surface as one …

The advent of ocean observatories is creating unique opportunities for deploying novel
sensor systems. We are exploring that potential through the development and application of …

Planktonic microbial activity and community structure is dynamic, and can change
dramatically on time scales of hours to days. Yet for logistical reasons, this temporal scale is …

Microbial, single-celled eukaryotes (protists) play a wide range of ecological roles in marine
environments. Like all eukaryotes, protists are the evolutionary product of one or several …

We investigated the genetic diversity of symbiotic bacteria associated with two newly
discovered species of Osedax from Monterey Canyon, CA, at 1,017-m (Osedax Monterey …

The Environmental Sample Processor (ESP) is a device that allows for the underwater,
