Biogeochemical Monitoring
Biogeochemical monitoring studies the coupling of physics, chemistry, and biology that governs ecosystem productivity and resilience. It measures nutrients, dissolved oxygen, pH, and optical indicators such as chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity, and backscattering to diagnose primary production, respiration, and community shifts. With event-scale sensitivity and multi-parameter context, these observations reveal bloom dynamics, hypoxia formation, and carbon cycling, and provide ground truth for predictive models.
