overview
Professor Knapp is a Chemical Oceanographer studying marine nutrient cycling. The overarching theme of her research is identifying and quantifying the dominant sources of nutrients fueling new and export production, especially in oligotrophic marine systems, using geochemical tools. She works across a range of physical scales, from physiological studies of phytoplankton to ocean basin-scale projects to quantify fluxes of nitrogen and phosphorus to and from the ocean. She currently leads a 7-PI, NSF-funded project in the Gulf of Mexico, and serves on the US GEOTRACES Steering Committee and well as the Leadership team for a NSF-funded Research Coordination Network studying Aquatic Nitrogen Fixation.
