Biography: I am broadly interested in marine community ecology and benthic foodwebs. In SBC-LTER I have led studies of benthic primary production, and how understory algae and phytoplankton compete with giant kelp for light. With Mark Page, I am investigating the role of kelp detritus,nphytoplankton, and other carbon sources to benthic suspension feeders.
