Cliff Law
PhD
Marine Biogeochemist
NIWA & University of Otago
Professor Cliff Law’s research interest is in marine biogeochemistry and ocean-atmosphere interaction, particularly trace gas cycling and sources, nutrient limitation of phytoplankton, and impacts of ocean acidification and warming in sub-Antarctic and Polar waters.
In the Antarctic Science Platform, Cliff will examine the sources and distribution of dissolved iron, and determine its influence on phytoplankton biomass, composition and production in coastal and open ocean regions.
