Amanda Timmerman (she/her) is a research scientist at Georgia Tech. She earned her BS and MS at the University of Hawaii and her PhD at University of Victoria in Canada. Her research focuses on phytoplankton’s role in biogeochemical cycling and exploring what drives phytoplankton variability. She combines shipboard sampling, satellites and model output to help answer her research questions. She also compares primary production and carbon export methods as a tool to uncover method biases and better constrain the carbon cycle. Amanda has participated in research expeditions to both the Antarctic and the Canadian Arctic.
