Articles on my work:

A World of Science, Vol 4, July - Sept 2006: The Red Tide [pdf]


Research Interests

My research interests range from limnological and oceanographic field surveys of phytoplankton populations, taxonomy by light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, to biochemistry of microalgal pigments, lipids and toxins, micropaleontological studies of cysts in sediment cores and molecular genetics of cultured algal strains. Applied research aspects as they relate to coastal eutrophication,the fishfarming, shellfish culture and shipping industries (ballast water problem) are actively pursued.
