For WGBH's Living Lab Radio, Heather Goldstone talks to Stephanie Dutkiewicz, EAPS Principal Research Scientist and PAOC member, about how climate-driven changes in phytoplankton communities will intensify the blue and green regions of the world’s oceans. Dutkiewicz published an article on the ocean color signature of climate change in Nature Communications this past February.

The changes are beautiful warnings about what is happening in the ocean, Dutkiewicz tells Goldstone. Listen to the interview here. Read the MIT News story on Dutkiewicz's research here.
