The role of plankton in the marine carbon cycle - The Biological Carbon Pump
Biological Carbon Pump in a changing ocean: Wilson et al., 2022; UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship PREdicting biological Carbon in the Ocean Globally

Understanding the modern Biological Carbon Pump: I am a Working Group Leader for an initiative to benchmark the Biological Carbon Pump organised by the Ocean Decade's Joint Exploration of the Twilight Zone Network (JETZON). (Watch the latest findings presented at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution). Other relevant papers: (Wilson et al., 2012; Wilson et al., 2019; Wilson et al., 2022(AXA Research Fund Fellowship 2019 - 2021))

Dynamics of plankton ecosystems, biogeochemistry and climate in past climates: impact of mass extinction events on biogeochemistry, plankton ecosystems in warm climates, evolution of plankton through time. (Wilson et al., 2018 - publicly available lecture) (Gibbs et al., 2020 - Featured on SciShow on YouTube)
