Brooke Weigel is an Assistant Professor in the Oceans Department at Stanford University's Doerr School of Sustainability. Her research focuses on ecological and physiological responses of marine primary producers and microbial communities to global climate change, with particular emphasis on feedbacks involving kelp forests, carbon cycling, and biogeochemical processes.
- PhD, University of Chicago, Evolutionary Biology (2021)

- BA, St. Olaf College, Biology and Environmental Studies (2013)
The Weigel Lab at Hopkins Marine Station employs field/laboratory experiments, genomics, bioinformatics, algal culturing, and ecophysiology to study climate impacts on nearshore marine ecosystems. Research areas include microbial ecology, conservation, and climate change feedback mechanisms.
Based at Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, CA, the lab integrates phycology, biogeochemistry, and genomics to address climate-driven changes in marine systems. Their work aims to inform ecosystem conservation and management strategies through interdisciplinary approaches.
