Current Research Technicians
Sarah Blaser Research Technician
MSc in Marine Biology, San Francisco State University, Romberg Tiburon Center, 2012
BS in Ecology and Systematic Biology, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, 2006
I am currently a Research Technician in the Wilkerson and Dugdale lab at the Estuary and Ocean Science (EOS) center at San Francisco State University. I started as a graduate student and stayed on as a research technician after receiving my master’s degree. I work on various projects studying phytoplankton (important primary producers in marine, estuarine, and fresh water systems) and how inorganic nutrients (nitrate, ammonium, phosphate, and silicate) influence their communities and processes in the SF estuary and coastal ocean. The work involves both a field component to collect water samples and laboratory component to analyze those samples. A few of the instruments I operate and maintain are the auto-analyzer and spectrophotometer for nutrient analysis, mass spectrometer to measure nutrient uptake rates by phytoplankton, YSI water quality probe, and fluorometer for chlorophyll (biomass) analysis.
