Towards a Holistic View of Phytoplankton Biodiversity: From Molecules to Satellite Observations

Session ID#: 257933

Session Description:
Phytoplankton organisms vary in size, shape, behaviour and function. Observing the distribution, diversity and complexity of these organisms in several temporal and spatial scales is possible by applying in situ instrumentation, remote sensing, as well as traditional discrete water sampling. These observations include molecular tools, traditional microscopy, optical and imaging sensors used on board vessels and/or attached to buoys or autonomous vehicles, as well as multi- and hyperspectral satellite images. Despite the multitude of observations, it remains challenging to intercompare, align and interpret all the data. This section brings together the current state-of-art research on how to use multiple observational platforms to extract information about plankton diversity and dynamics. These include: 1) benchtop and in situ imaging data, in combination with computer vision and machine learning, 2) molecular and elemental analyses derived from manual and automated samplers, 3) single-cell and/or bulk fluorescence and scattering information from automated in vivo flow cytometers and fluorometers and 4) large-scale spatial and temporal distributions from multi- and hyperspectral satellites. Observational efforts that combine state-of-art technologies and deployments for monitoring phytoplankton are paramount for holistic understanding of their distribution, dynamics , ecosystem function, and response to ocean change.
