Abstract/Description
Characterization of the distribution and biophysical interactions of oceanic planktonic organisms is crucial to address fundamental science questions associated with climate change, marine ecology, pollution, and ocean optics. Thus, development of instrumentation techniques for monitoring plankton at high spatial and temporal resolutions is important.

Show moreCharacterization of the distribution and biophysical interactions of oceanic planktonic organisms is crucial to address fundamental science questions associated with climate change, marine ecology, pollution, and ocean optics. Thus, development of instrumentation techniques for monitoring plankton at high spatial and temporal resolutions is important. This dissertation deals with the advancements made in applying digital holography – a 3-D non-intrusive, freestream imaging technique – to address three different applications associated with marine plankton monitoring and ecology. In the first project, an autonomous in-line digital holographic microscope was successfully deployed for rapid in situ detection of the harmful dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis in the coastal Gulf of Mexico. Monitoring K. brevis abundance and distribution are crucial for early warning systems and implementing preventative measures to limit potential damage. The holographic system was successfully paired with a convolutional neural network for automated data processing to ensure rapid and accurate K. brevis detection.

Mathematical modeling of plankton patchiness

Mathematical modeling of plankton patchiness.

Abstract/Description
In natural systems, it has been observed that plankton exist in patches rather than in an even distribution across a body of water. However, the mechanisms behind this patchiness are not fully understood. Several previous modeling studies have examined the effects of abiotic and biotic factors on patch structure. Yet these models ignore a key point: zooplankton often undergo diel vertical migration. I have formulated a model that incorporates vertical movement into the Rosezweig-MacArthur (R...
Show moreIn natural systems, it has been observed that plankton exist in patches rather than in an even distribution across a body of water. However, the mechanisms behind this patchiness are not fully understood. Several previous modeling studies have examined the effects of abiotic and biotic factors on patch structure. Yet these models ignore a key point: zooplankton often undergo diel vertical migration. I have formulated a model that incorporates vertical movement into the Rosezweig-MacArthur (R-M) predator-prey model. The R-M model is stable only at a carrying capacity below a critical value. I found that adding vertical movement stabilizes the system even at a high carrying capacity. By analyzing temporal stability and spatial structure, my results show that vertical movement interacts with carrying capacity to determine patch structure.
