"Modeling physiological acclimation and macromolecular allocation in phytoplankton"
Keisuke Inomura, Assistant Professor
University of Rhode Island
Wednesday, September 18, 2024
12:30pm-1:30pm
SMAST E 101-102 and via Zoom
Abstract:
I present a model of physiological acclimation and macromolecular allocation of phytoplankton. The model reconciles an extensive data set and is now embedded in global ocean simulation. The model is useful as it provides a critical physiological aspect of the phytoplankton that has been largely ignored in global simulations. The simulation may predict global ocean elemental stoichiometry, and provide reasoning behind its pattern. The model also provides reasoning behind the widely observed saturating relationship between nutrient concentration and growth rate (or Monod kinetics). In this talk, I will explain step by step how the model works and how it provides a new direction in the modeling field.
