Brooke Weigel
Assistant Professor of Oceans
BioDr. Brooke Weigel is a marine ecologist. Her research focuses on the ecological and physiological responses of primary producers and microbial communities to global climate change, and the consequences of those changes for marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles. She is particularly interested in the feedbacks between climate change, kelp forests, microbes & carbon cycling in the ocean. Her research uses a variety of tools and methods, including field and laboratory experiments, genomics, bioinformatics, algal culturing, ecophysiology, and biogeochemistry to improve our understanding of the impacts of climate change on nearshore marine ecosystems. The Weigel Lab is part of the Oceans Department, within the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. The lab is based at Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, CA.
