This book highlights perspectives, insights, and data in the
coupled fields of aquatic microbial ecology and biogeochemistry
when viewed through the lens of collaborative duos - dual career
couples. Their synergy and collaborative interactions have
contributed substantially to our contemporary understanding of
pattern, process and dynamics. This is thus a book by dual career
couples about dual scientific processes. The papers herein
represent wide-ranging topics, from the processes that structure
microbial diversity to nitrogen and photosynthesis metabolism, to
dynamics of changing ecosystems and processes and dynamics in
individual ecosystems. In all, these papers take us from the Arctic
to Africa, from the Arabian Sea to Australia, from small lakes in
Maine and Yellowstone hot vents to the Sargasso Sea, and in the
process provide analyses that make us think about the structure and
function of all of these systems in the aquatic realm. This book is
useful not only for the depth and breadth of knowledge conveyed in
its chapters, but serves to guide dual career couples faced with
the great challenges only they face. Great teams do make great
science.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) - blooms that cause fish kills,
contaminate seafood with toxins, or cause human or ecological
health impacts and harm to local economies - are occurring more
often, in more places and lasting longer than in past decades. This
expansion is primarily the result of human activities, through
increased nutrient inputs and various aspects of climate change.
The Global Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms
(GEOHAB) programme promoted international collaboration to
understand HAB population dynamics in various oceanographic regimes
and to improve the prediction of HABs. This volume introduces
readers to the overarching framework of the GEOHAB programme,
factors contributing to the global expansion of harmful algal
blooms, the complexities of HABs in different habitats, and the
forward-looking issues to be tackled by the next generation of
GEOHAB, GlobalHAB. The programme brought together an international
team of contributing scientists and ecosystem managers, and its
outcomes will greatly benefit the international research community.
