David Hutchins is a Professor of Biological Sciences at USC Dornsife and holds the George Louise Kawamoto Chair. His research interests focus on phytoplankton biology, biogeochemical oceanography, and how anthropogenic changes impact ocean nutrient cycles and climate feedbacks. Hutchins leads a lab that conducts experiments in various marine environments to understand the ecological effects of ocean acidification, warming, and deoxygenation. His recent work emphasizes collaboration with Earth system modelers to study how global change affects marine microbial processes. Hutchins has contributed significantly to understanding interactions between ocean warming and phytoplankton nutrient dynamics, as well as the implications of harmful algal blooms on environmental health. He has received considerable funding from the National Science Foundation and has been recognized as an American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellow and a recipient of the U.S. National Science Foundation Antarctic Service Medal.
