Size Distribution and Fluorescent Characteristics of Colloidal CDOM: Indicators of the Provenance and Reactivity of CDOM in Coastal Waters?

Abstract

My 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. I am particularly interested in determining how these effects are driven or modulated by the productivity dynamics of phytoplankton and marine heterotrophic bacteria.
