Dierdre Toole, a marine chemist at Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution, has studied the production of dimethylsulfide (DMS) by
phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica (above) and in the
Sargasso Sea near Bermuda. Her research aims to reveal the gas's
important impacts on the environment and Earth's climate.
