Research

Jacqueline Tweddle’s research interests include the interactions between biology, physics and chemistry in the ocean, particularly how these relate to changes in primary production rates and phytoplankton growth and community structure. She enjoys incorporating a variety of data sources, such as in situ measurements, satellite data and model results, and collaborating with people from other disciplines.
