The microscopic world of plankton drifting in the world's oceans is as alien to us as anything from outer space. It is a world full of weird organisms, chemical patches and hydromechanical disturbances. My research focuses on this world, and how physics and evolution have shaped organisms, their behaviour and interactions. These micro-scale processes have implications well beyond their immediate scale. The biological pump for instance regulates how carbon is drawn down from the atmosphere into the deep oceans on a global scale, but is fundamentally driven by microscopic organisms. Through a mechanistic understanding of this micro-scale world, we can build up a robust and systematic understanding of marine ecosystems and their impact at the global scale. Â
