Physical-biological coupling in pelagic ecosystems |
Scales of variability in the interaction between physical and biological processes: mixing and stratification, internal waves, frontal systems, sub- and meso-scale structures. |
Trophic analysis of pelagic ecosystems |
Pelagic food webs. Bacteria-phytoplankton coupling. Grazing and mixotrophy. Structure of planktonic communities and biogeochemical circulation. |
Regional oceanography: the upwelling system of NW Iberian peninsula |
Ecological and biogeochemical impact of the Galician upwelling. Links between size structure and metabolic balance in Ría de Vigo. Irradiance and nutrients as controlling factors of phytoplankton growth. Responses of microbial plankton to global change processes. |
