MARI/CCPO Seminar Series
Patricia L. Yager
Dr. Patricia L. Yager earned her Ph.D. from the University of Washington and is an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, Department of Marine Science. Her research investigates how climate and climate-driven processes affect marine biota. She focuses especially on climate-sensitive carbon cycling that may feedback to climate change by altering the amount of CO2 taken up by the ocean. Her work has led her to study the Arctic, the Antarctic, and the Amazon River plume ecosystems. As the primary agents for carbon and nutrient cycling, marine microorganisms are the focus of her research and her approach straddles both biological and chemical oceanography, with measurements and modeling of microbial activity and the ocean's carbonate system.
