Phytoplankton ecologist
Patricia Marguerite Glibert is a marine scientist known for her research on nutrient use by phytoplankton and harmful algal blooms in
Chesapeake Bay . She is an elected fellow of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science .
Education and career
Glibert has an undergraduate degree from
Skidmore College
[1] and a master's degree from the
University of New Hampshire, where she examined the movement of nutrients in an estuary.
[2] Glibert moved to
Harvard University for her Ph.D., which she earned in 1982 with a dissertation working on the uptake of ammonium by small marine organisms.
[3] Following her Ph.D., Glibert was a postdoctoral researcher and scientist at
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution . In 1986 Glibert moved to the
University of Maryland , where she was promoted to professor in 1993.
In 2020, Glibert was elected president-elect of the
Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), and followed
Roxane Maranger as president in 2022.
[4]
Research
Glibert's research centers on nutrients, phytoplankton, and harmful algal blooms, especially the connection between
harmful algal blooms and nutrients.
[5] She has conducted this research in multiple locations
[6] including
Shinnecock Bay , Long Island,
[7] Florida Bay,
[8] the Chesapeake Bay,
[9]
Kuwait Bay ,
[10] the
Scotian Shelf ,
[11] the waters off
Cape Cod ,
[12] and Chesapeake Bay.
[13] She has examined the production and consumption of nitrogen,
[14] the effect of temperature on nutrient uptake,
[15] and the role of mixotrophy in nutrient use.
[16] Her work includes investigations into nutrient cycling in model organisms including
Trichodesmium ,
[17]
Prorocentrum ,
[18] and
Synechococcus .
[19]
[20] Glibert's research encompasses issues of climate change
[21] and human impacts on the environment.

Awards and honors
Glibert received an honorary doctorate from
Linnaeus University in 2011,
[24] and was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2012.
[25] She has also been named one of the top women professors in
Maryland (2013), and is a sustaining fellow of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (2016).
[1]
Personal life
Glibert describes herself as "one-half dual-career couple"
[26] and is married to Todd Kana, a phytoplankton ecologist at the University of Maryland.
[27] In 2016 they published Aquatic Microbial Ecology and Biochemistry: A Dual Perspective , a collection written by dual career couples who have collaborated on research in the field.
[27] They have three children; Glibert's daughter was the first child born to a woman scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
