Biological oceanography lab at Carolina studying phytoplankton ecophysiology, biogeochemistry and genomics.
Congrats to Margarita who successfully defended her MSc thesis today! Margarita investigated growth and nutrient kinetics in a variety of phytoplankton species she isolated from the Galapagos Archipelago. Turns out size really does matter…in phytoplankton I mean.

Looking forward to our research cruise starting on July 30 on the R/V Marcus Langseth related to our NSF-funded project. Mobilization in San Diego was a success. Ship is now en route to the Equatorial Pacific!

It was great to catch up with Raquel and Jason in Victoria, BC. The Marchetti Lab will miss you Raquel! Safe travels.

We call this Margarita cubed. Margarita eating a Margherita pizza while drinking a Margarita. A toast to Raquel who will be moving on from the Marchetti Lab very shortly. We wish her all the best!

Check out Margarita’s chemostat setup to examine shifts in nutrient quotas in Galapagos diatoms throughout diel cycles. She will be sampling every three hours over the next two days!! 🥱

We had an amazing group of undergraduates in the Marchetti Lab this year. Their research spanned the globe from the Southern Ocean to the Galapagos. Thanks a bunch to Cammie, Abby1, Abby2 and Ankit. They all put in a ton of hours in the lab and are now moving on to bigger and better places!

Congrats to undergraduate researcher Cammie Zehner who presented her research conducted with Emily Speciale on phytoplankton dynamics in the California Current upwelling zone at the EMES symposium!
