Kendra Lee Daly is an oceanographer known for her work on zooplankton, particularly in low oxygen regions of the ocean.
She is a professor at the University of South Florida, and an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
[1] Daly's early research was conducted in the Weddell Sea where she examined the abundance,[4] growth, and feeding of krill.
[5] Subsequently she examined year-to-year changes in the development of krill in Antarctica,[6] and the role of zooplankton in organic sulfur cycling in the Southern Ocean.
[7] She has examined how plankton production is impacted by physics and biology,[8] such as her work looking at carbon and nitrogen cycling in polar regions.
