Zooplankton generated mixing in stratified lakes

​
The aims of this work are to directly measure turbulence from vertical migrations of zooplankton, quantify how much mixing the migrations cause, and determine the importance of this mechanism in lakes

Influence of phytoplankton morphology on dominance in turbulent regimes
PhD Student: Russell Arnott
Collaborators: Dr Mehdi Cherif
Funding: EPSRC Doctoral Training Studentship
​
In this project, we are putting together evidence to come with a new simplified, model describing the vertical distribution of phytoplankton species in response to different turbulent mixing regimes as a function of their sizes, densities and shapes.
