A principal thrust of my current research interests is the use of artificial neural network models to investigate the role of complex and non-linear biological and physical interactions as well as feedback mechanisms in regulating productivity and carbon cycle in the oceans. By integrating field and satellite measurements with results of state-of-the-art large-scale ocean models, I link trophic dynamics with changes in the marine environment that occur on seasonal to decadal time scales. My long-term goal is to increase our ability to project future responses of marine ecosystems and carbon cycle to changes in the global climate and exploitation (e.g. fishing), thus enabling an ecosystem approach to sustainable management of marine resources.
