- Abstract:
- Marine biogenic trace gases play critical roles in global biogeochemical cycles, have significant effects on atmospheric chemistry and influence climate through the production of aerosols. Dimethylsulphide (DMS) has relatively well known production pathways, so I will examine plankton species other than those used as the 'models' for the research field, embark upon a molecular path to understanding DMS production and investigate linkages between the sulphur and nitrogen cycles. For biogenic halocarbons and hydrocarbons I will focus on the physiological basis of trace gas output. The overall aim is to generate broader and deeper knowledge of trace gas production at the physiological and molecular level, and thereby improve knowledge of how trace gases currently influence global biogeochemical cycles and whether this might change under future climate scenarios.
