I'm so proud of this latest paper in collaboration with Drs.
@LexFischer and Kelsey Bisson. We summarize observations of phytoplankton community composition measured using an #ImagingFlowCytobot in the #SantaBarbaraChannel during the #ThomasFire. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

We found that the phytoplankton community during the #ThomasFire was dominated by dinoflagellates, unlike historical Decembers in the #SantaBarbaraChannel - but community composition was uncorrelated with light or nutrients (which we hypothesized would be impacted by the fire).
This work was conducted as part of a rare graduate student-led research cruise headed by Kelsey and @nbaetge91 onboard @RVSallyRide in Dec 2017. We had other plans...but then the wildfire ignited and created a new host of challenges and opportunities.
We were also joined at sea by a team of artists (@walter_etc, @celialjacobs, and Gad Girling) who helped bring our process and experience to life. Their incredible documentary, #AquaticCathartic, is available on Vimeo: vimeo.com/281882446...
...along with the amazing #Migrations magazine on Issuu! issuu.com/migrationsmag/…. Thanks to everyone who helped us and supported this project - special thanks to @NASAOcean, @NSF, and @CoastalFund for funding for our post-cruise analyses!
