Phytoplankton are microscopic algae that form the foundation of marine food webs and play a critical role in global carbon cycling. Olivia's research explores how these organisms change the chemical compounds they release when grazed by zooplankton. By identifying these metabolites, she hopes to better understand the chemical interactions that shape marine ecosystems and influence nutrient cycling in the ocean
