About
Peter G. Strutton is a leading biological oceanographer whose research focuses on the marine carbon cycle, particularly the biological carbon pump in the Southern Ocean. His work integrates robotic observations, satellite data, and field studies to understand how phytoplankton communities influence carbon export from the surface to the deep ocean. Strutton’s most-cited paper, "Seasonality of downward carbon export in the Pacific Southern Ocean revealed by multi-year robotic observations" (2023, 29 citations), challenges traditional views by demonstrating that gravitational sinking of particulate organic carbon alone cannot account for carbon budgets, highlighting the role of alternative export pathways. His contributions have reshaped understanding of ocean carbon sequestration, with his work cited over 3,000 times globally. Strutton is also recognized for advancing autonomous observation technologies, such as biogeochemical Argo floats, which provide unprecedented temporal and spatial data on ocean processes. His research is vital for predicting how climate change will alter ocean carbon storage and marine ecosystem dynamics.
