Project: Nutrient Limitation Dynamics in the Israeli Shelf
Academic Education:
- BSc – Marine Biology, Ruppin Academic Center (Michmoret),
Israel (2013-2016)
- MSc – Marine Biology, University of Haifa, Israel (2017-Present)
Background:
Tal has recently started her masters with Professor Mike Krom and is part of the Marine
Chemistry Laboratory at the station. During her bachelors, she found interest in taking a closer
look at the chemical characteristics of the sea and translating them into large scale processes.
By doing so, it allows for a better understanding of the system that clearly effect our lives as
individuals living on this blue planet.
Current Research:
Tal is working on creating a reliable data set of the nutrients on the Israeli shelf and using a
sensitive APA bioassay to define the limiting nutrient dynamics in the coastal environment.
