A department of UC San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography is one of the oldest, largest, and most important centers for ocean, earth and atmospheric science research, education, and public service in the world.

Through work in his lab measuring and characterizing microbial growth rates in the sea and small scale interactions, Azam is mainly responsible for showing that marine bacteria consume about half of marine productivity, via the microbial loop. This discovery fundamentally contributed to the fields of ecology, oceanography, and biogeochemistry.
