Curriculum vitae : Dr. Rodney Forster (PB6) leads the Pelagic Sciences team at CEFAS where his role is to integrate marine ecosystem data from different sources (ship, satellite, in situ) in order to better understand the ecology and productivity of shelf seas. He has worked on primary production of phytoplankton, macroalgae and microphytobenthos for over 20 years and has extensive experience in the use of in situ techniques and remote sensing of the marine environment. He has been involved in several EU-funded projects, including HIGHROC, PROTOOL, MYOCEAN and DEVOTES (FP7 programme studying the impact of human activities and variations due to climate change on marine biodiversity, using long-term pelagic and benthic data sets). Dr Forster has published over 30 articles in international, peer-reviewed journals. |
