Sasha Kramer is an Assistant Professor of Earth & Environment in the College of Arts & Sciences at Boston University. Her research aims on characterize surface ocean phytoplankton communities using a combination of in-water samples and remote sensing data on local to regional to global scales. From these surface ocean measurements, Kramer then considers the implications of changing phytoplankton community composition (PCC) for broader biogeochemical cycles (e.g., the biological carbon pump and ocean carbon export) and in response to extreme events like coastal wildfires. Kramer’s work is highly interdisciplinary and combines oceanographic fieldwork, ocean color remote sensing, and lab work using optical and molecular tools.
