The Source, Cycling, and Behavior of Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter in Coastal Waters

Abstract

Our long term research goal is to ascertain the nature and magnitude of optical effects (absorbance / fluorescence / scattering) in surface seawaters associated with the production and cycling of marine colloidal organic matter. We are particularly interested in determining how these effects are driven or modulated by the productivity dynamics of phytoplankton and marine heterotrophic bacteria in coastal regions not directly influenced by high riverine inputs of terrestrially-derived materials.
