Nutrient Dynamics and Phytoplankton
Welcome to the Wilkerson/Dugdale Laboratory at the Estuary and Ocean Science Center (EOS), San Francisco State University.
We are a phytoplankton ecology laboratory and the main focus of our work is to understand inorganic nutrient (nitrate, ammonium, phosphate, and silicate) inputs and fluxes into the coastal ocean and estuaries and how these nutrients affect phytoplankton populations and processes.
Our research group is involved in a variety of research projects exploring nutrient and phytoplankton dynamics and how they shape ocean primary production and global climate. Our research approach extends from studies at the molecular to the ecosystem level.
Currently, the majority of our projects are focused locally in the San Francisco Estuary. We often use the R/V Questuary to explore phytoplankton dynamics in the delta.
