The Color of Climate Change by Eva Frederick, Karina Hinojosa, Devi Lockwood, Gina Vitale – MIT Graduate Program in Science Writing
Darwin researchers Stephanie Dutkiewicz, Jonathan Lauderdale, and Oliver Jahn talk about their work modeling the ocean to explore how ocean color may change under climate change.
Ubiquitous marine organism has co-evolved with other microbes, promoting more complex ecosystems. Continue reading Tiny bacterium provides window into whole ecosystems
Winners and Losers: Phytoplankton in a Changing Climate
Stephanie Dutkiewicz at MIT Future Ocean Symposium, September 9, 2013.
When San Francisco’s Exploratorium moves into its new building on the waterfront next year, it promises to use technologies in ways never before seen in a museum. One of those experiences will be an interactive ocean, the product of a collaboration between scientists at UC Davis and MIT’s Darwin Project. Read more
In this video, which grew out of a Plenary Lecture at the Spring 2012, American Geophysical Union, Ocean Sciences meeting in Salt Lake City ,UT, “Modeling Marine Microbes: From Molecules to Ecosystems”, Mick talks about the past, present and future of marine ecosystem modeling. In particular he explains how his group uses numerical simulations to understand the organization of plankton populations and how advances in cell biology and microbiology might inform future models.
