Kristina Kvile<\/a><\/h3>\n\n

Research Interests:<\/strong> I am a marine ecologist studying how climate change influences zooplankton communities at high latitudes. Most of my work has focused on Calanus\u00a0<\/em>copepods, which dominate zooplankton biomass in Arctic and subarctic regions and play important ecological roles as consumers of microplankton and prey for other animals. I combine data-driven (statistical) and numerical (mechanistic) modeling to understand spatial and temporal variation in zooplankton populations on regional and pan-Arctic scales. Complementing modeling with observational studies in the field, I aim to improve our understanding of the mechanisms that drive observed changes in polar ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\"Kate\n\t

Kate Lowry<\/a><\/h3>\n\n

Research Interests:<\/strong> My work investigates the impact of climate change on polar marine ecosystems.\u00a0 In particular, my research uses satellite remote sensing and oceanographic fieldwork to explore topics related to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Physical-biological interactions<\/li>\n
  2. Phytoplankton and nutrient dynamics<\/li>\n
  3. Under-ice phytoplankton blooms<\/li>\n
  4. Arctic circulation and sea ice<\/li>\n
  5. Antarctic coastal polynyas<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\t\t\t\t\"Hongjun\n\t

    Hongjun Song <\/a><\/h3>\n\n

    Research Interests:<\/strong> Plankton phenology and biogeography; Marine ecosystem dynamics and biological-physical interactions. For polar regions, I will focus on how climate change influences primary production, mainly based on satellite-derived data analysis and statistical\/numerical modeling.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\"yamaguchi\"\n\t

    Atsushi Yamaguchi<\/a><\/h3>\n\n

    Research Interests:<\/strong> My major is marine zooplankton ecology especially copepods. \u00a0My research fields are from epipelagic to deep-sea, and covering from subarctic to Arctic.\u00a0 In Hokkaido University, my home institution, I have double accounts of Faculty of Fisheries and Arctic Research Center.\u00a0 That is why I am studying zooplankton ecology in the Arctic Ocean.\u00a0 During my sabbatical stay in WHOI (scheduled one year during March 2018 to March 2019), I will evaluate life cycle of mesopelagic copepods in the Arctic Ocean by analyzing samples collected by SHEBA project under supervising\/host with Dr. Carin J. Ashjian.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
