Michael Lomas is a biogeochemist with a broad interest in the role that phytoplankton diversity and physiology plays in mediating the key processes of the biological carbon pump.  While all phytoplankton fix inorganic carbon (they are plants after all), different phytoplankton assemblages lead to different foodweb structures and ultimately different efficiencies of the biological carbon pump.  Lomas' lab uses a combination of natural field observations, and field and laboratory manipulation experiments to study innate differences in phytoplankton physiology in the field how different phytoplankton groups respond to climate change, in particular ocean acidification.

    Our Programs
    INTEGRATED ECOSYSTEM PROGRAMS

    Science Foundation

    Research programs addressing pressing fishery management issues and Alaska marine ecosystem information needs.

    Integrated Ecosystem Research

    These are large-scale interdisciplinary ecosystem-based programs, requiring multiple agency coordination, collaboration, and investigation.

    Outreach Program

    Science communication, engagement, outreach, and education initiatives for NPRB programs.

    Core
    Program

    A competitive, peer-reviewed annual request for proposal (RFP) process dedicated to Alaska marine research.

    Graduate

    Research

    Awards

    Supporting next generation scientists, researchers, and resource managers to further studies in marine science and to our mission.

    Long-Term Monitoring

    These are new or existing time-series projects that enhance the ability to understand the current state of marine ecosystems.

    Examining how physical changes in the ocean influenced the flow of energy through the marine food web in the Bering Strait, Chukchi Sea, and western Beaufort Sea.

    Studying the survival and recruitment of five focal groundfish species (Pacific cod, Pacific ocean perch, walleye pollock, arrowtooth flounder, sablefish) during their first year of life.

    Understanding the impacts of climate change and dynamic sea ice cover on the eastern Bering Sea ecosystem in partnership with the National Science Foundation.

    Northern

    Bering Sea

    COMING SOON! Focusing on the northern Bering Sea and will include consideration of upstream and downstream ecosystems in the southeastern Bering Sea, western Bering Sea, and Chukchi Sea.
