Zoe V. Finkel
Oceanography, Canada Research Chair in Marine Microbial Macroecology
My research interests focus on the eco-physiological controls of phytoplankton community structure, feedbacks between phytoplankton community structure and climate change, and the macroevolutionary history of phytoplankton communities. (Google scholar, ORCID, email: zfinkel at dal.ca.)
Andrew J. Irwin
Mathematics & Statistics
I use mathematical and statistical models to study the marine biosphere, phytoplankton growth, and environmental influences on the distribution of phytoplankton in the ocean. (Google scholar, ORCID, email: a.irwin at dal.ca.)
