 Dr. Carroll is an Associate Research Scientist at the University of Maryland Baltimore County working at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center on phytoplankton community ecology and data science. Phytoplankton are a broad collection of photosynthetic organisms, found in all water bodies, that range in size from less-than a micron to millimeters in length. Despite their small size, their presence in the photic zone can be detected from space due to their light-absorbing pigments. Dr. Carroll investigates machine learning approaches to predicting the community composition (abundances of each type) of phytoplankton using data from ocean color instruments. He also supports science data production for NASA's PACE mission.
