The ocean biosphere in the Earth System in the Richardson Group

Research in the Richardson Group focuses on understanding the factors controlling the structure of marine plankton ecosystems, community composition, how genetic diversity is maintained and what role life histories of organisms and ecosystem structure play in the global carbon cycle and climate development.
