Abstract
Richard W. Eppley (1931–2023), better known as “Dick,” was a tour de force in biological oceanography. Most of his research life was at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps), where he studied marine phytoplankton and their roles in biogeochemical processes. Over the course of his career, he influenced many people, not only in science but also as exemplar of integrity and fundamental curiosity about the ocean. His formidable contributions to phytoplankton physiology and biological oceanography were appreciatively reviewed shortly after his retirement (Weiler et al., 1990), and with added perspective after his death (Cullen and Eppley, 2024). What follows are tributes from several of his former students, postdocs, and colleagues.
