Analysis of Diatom Blooms Using DNA Fingerprints

Abstract

My long-term goals are to understand the interaction between the biological and environmental factors that dictate the timing and magnitude of diatom blooms. I am particularly interested in how species behavior is coupled to environmental conditions and how the extent of genetic and physiological diversity within a population influences its future ability to bloom.
