Réka Domokos, PhD
Réka Domokos works mostly with observational data to study the effects of physical and biogeochemical processes on organisms in the tropical and subtropical Pacific Ocean, focusing on biophysical coupling in pelagic environments and at seamounts. She also use active acoustics to assess the spatiotemporal distribution and composition of macrozooplankton and micronekton in the meso- and epipelagic zones, as well as the abundance, biomass, and movement patterns/behavior of pelagic nekton. Réka is mostly interested in large- and climate scale oceanographic processes and extreme events, but her interests also extend to the mesoscales. Réka actively works to advance uncrewed systems capabilities to enhance our ability to survey remote, hard-to-access regions with prohibitive expanses on scales appropriate of ecosystem processes.
