My research currently focuses on developing molecular tools to better understand and predict harmful algal blooms (HABs) as part of the ACTNOW project. I have previously worked investigating macroalgae-bacteria interactions and post-harvest degradation kinetics of macroalgal biomass. I am also interested in extraction kinetics of lipid biomolecules during scale-up, the development/modification of industrial extraction methods … Read more
I am a PhD Student at the Marine Biological Association and The University of Plymouth. My research involves the development of techniques to ‘futureproof’ kelp restoration and look into the impact this may have on UK marine biodiversity. My previous research as a masters student and Research Technician at the MBA focused on the thermal … Read more
Since joining the CPR Survey in 2011, I have developed my taxonomic expertise in phyto- and zooplankton and am part of both the North Atlantic and North Pacific Analysis teams. During this time, I’ve worked on various aspects of the CPR Survey and have used this wealth of knowledge to deliver outreach events including training … Read more
I’m a marine ecologist passionate about using technology to understand and communicate complex patterns and processes in our ocean. My interest in ocean observation technologies began 10 years ago when I explored imaging sonars to visualise basking sharks as part of my MASTS Prize PhD at the University of Aberdeen. My research has since focused … Read more
Prof. Linda K. Medlin has worked previously as Head of Research at Microbia Environnement, France, at the Observatoire Oceanologique of UPMC, France and at the AWI, Germany. She received Ph.D. from Texas A&M University in 1983 in marine botany. Her expertise is in marine phytoplankton and their evolution/phylogenetics. She has worked for over 20 years … Read more
I am a marine molecular microbiologist who studies the fundamental biology of microalgae called diatoms. Diatoms are important drivers of primary productivity within ocean systems and I work to understand how they sense and respond to their environment. I have received a degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Brighton, a Master of Research … Read more
