Planar Laser Imaging of Scattering and Fluorescence of Zooplankton Feeding in Layers of Phytoplankton in situ

Abstract

We intend to quantify the biological, physical, and chemical dynamics that structure marine planktonic ecosystems. Observations of the organisms and their environment on the spatial and temporal scales that characterize their interactions, combined with models of the dominant dynamics, will lead to improved understanding of the dynamics, structure, and function of planktonic ecosystems.
