Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, West Boothbay Harbor, Maine seeks to understand key processes driving global ocean ecosystems, their evolution, and their fundamental relationship to life on earth. The Laboratory’s research ranges from microbial oceanography - examining biological productivity and phytoplankton community dynamics in the world’s oceans at the molecular level - to the large-scale biogeochemical processes that drive interactions between ocean ecosystems and global environmental conditions. We pay the laboratory a visit.
