As the river mixes with the surrounding oceanic water, it creates a gradient of physical and biogeochemical niches, shaping the planktonic community structures and driving biological processes along the aging plume, whose influence extend hundreds of kilometers further to the Western Tropical North Atlantic. To study the biological impacts of such heterogenous conditions requires a consistent framework to delineate the meaningful marine planktonic environments. The approach can be expanded to include the biogeochemical (BGC) Argo profilers array dataset to investigate multiple marine systems at varied spatial and temporal scales. The research will push the state-of-the-art BGC-Argo array to its full potential and relieve the need for expensive and laborious ship-based oceanographic surveys to study and monitor the changing ocean. Finally, the delineated habitats will be used for studies of planktonic community structures via multiple measurements and statistical approaches, and key biological processes via stable isotope measurements and potentially metagenomics. This will provide comprehensive insights into the co-influence between the planktonic communities and their surrounding physical and biogeochemical conditions, enhancing our understanding of how primary production will respond to climate changes and anthropogenic eutrophication.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"  PLANKTONIC HABITATS IN THE DYNAMIC OCEAN"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2022-11-28 21:46:10","changed_gmt":"2022-11-28 21:46:10","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2022-12-06T09:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2022-12-06T11:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2022-12-06T11:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2022-12-06 14:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2022-12-06 16:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2022-12-06 16:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
