biological oceanography;
functioning of microbial/planktonic
systems - particularly,
roles ofbacteria, archaea,
and viruses in food webs;
microbial biodiversity and
identification of
nonculturable bacteria and
archaea; interactions with
dissolved and particulate
organic matter; two-way
interactions with other
chemical and physical

regeneration;application of
biochemical and molecular
biological approaches to
these problems; connections
to global cycles; human
impacts on aquatic systems
and related health hazards.
