Pete Strutton's Lab Page

Broadly, we're interested in how physical and biological processes interact in the upper ocean. Mostly this takes the form of physics influencing phytoplankton productivity by modulating thermocline depth, upwelling rates and vertical turbulent mixing. But biology can also influence physics via the influence of phytoplankton on the heat budget of the upper ocean.

For more information regarding the Lab please see the About the Lab webpage.
