Special Oceanography Seminar

February 24, 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Mānoa Campus, MSB 100 Add to Calendar

Angelicque White, an assistant Professor at the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University, and a candidate for the tenure track faculty position in biological oceanography, will be giving a seminar entitled,

"ACT I and II - Phytoplankton Ecology in the North Pacific Ocean"



This presentation will introduce two distinct lines of inquiry (or ‘Acts’) which share the same overarching goal: to enhance our mechanistic understanding of the microbial ecology of the North Pacific Ocean.

Act I will present results of a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary effort to characterize the regional coupling of nitrogen fixation and denitrification in the waters of the Gulf of California and the adjacent Eastern Tropical North Pacific. Act II presents the objectives of a recently funded research project which will employ a suite of bio-optical tools to improve quantifications of global ocean primary production. The underlying rationale of this second act is that community structure and hence size structure can be viewed as an integrator of environmental variables and consequently can be used to predict the very photo-physiological properties used to model primary productivity from space.

4:00 p.m. Open discussion with candidate

4:30 p.m. Reception on MSB lanai
