A primary thrust in my research has been to bridge fundamental understandings in physiology and biochemistry with broad-scale understanding of biospheric functioning. Topics of my research include photobiology, plankton ecology, biospheric remote sensing and development of satellite sensors/applications, optical approaches to ecological/physiological problems, biochemistry & biophysics of photosynthesis, physiological responses to environmental stresses, plankton predator-prey relationships, ocean-atmosphere interactions, carbon cycling, phytoplankton evolution.

(Physiological-ecology of marine algae, biogeochemcial cycles, remote sensing of the biosphere, novel optical approaches to understanding algal ecology/physiology, biochemistry and biophysics of photosynthesis, physiological responses of plants to environmental stresses, and regional and global ecological modeling, climate change and carbon cycling.)
