Former PhD student Johnson Lin led this study examining the phytoplankton response to different phases of upwelling in the California Current System. This study was conducted during the Pupcycle I cruise, which took place in 2019. By incorporating metatranscriptomic analyses and stable isotope incubations to measure nutrient uptake kinetics into our assessment of early and later upwelling stages, we observed variability in phytoplankton assemblages and differential gene expression of phytoplankton that were de-coupled from their physiology.
