The Darwin Project’s Emily Zakem, Stephanie Dutkiewicz and Mick Follows show that physiological constraints and resource competition between phytoplankton and nitrifying microorganisms in the sunlit layer can yield this ocean trait. Continue reading Understanding Microbial Competition for Nitrogen
Ryan Woosley is a a marine physical chemist, focusing on the marine carbon cycle. A particular interest is in quantifying where and how much anthropogenic carbon is being taken up and stored in the ocean. He is also interested in improving the accuracy and precision of inorganic carbon measurements, specifically pH and total alkalinity. Continue reading New Research Scientist Ryan Woosley
Look out for the Darwin team, sharing their work at this year’s Ocean Sciences conference taking place February 11-16 in Portland, Oregon. Continue reading Darwin Goes to Ocean Sciences 2018

It’s been a decade since the inception of the MIT Darwin Project, an alliance between physical oceanographers, biogeochemists and marine microbiologists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The goal of Darwin remains to couple state of the art physical models of global ocean circulation with biogeochemistry and genome-informed models of microbial processes to understand the interplay between different elements of the marine ecosystem leading to observed balances between physiology and the marine environment.
