The primary objective of this research project is to reconstruct the Campanian to Eocene floral history of the James Ross Island Basin, Antarctica, based mainly on palynomorphs. Palynomorphs occur throughout and are abundant in the nearshore marine to coastal/deltaic stratigraphic section of Seymour Island and parts of adjacent islands in the James Ross Island Basin. They include dinoflagellate cysts and acritarchs (marine microphytoplankton), other marine and freshwater algae, pollen and spores from land- plants and fungal remains. This project is part of a continuing study on Seymour Island palynology, and is integrated with studies on other aspects of antarctic Cretaceous-Tertiary geologic history.

该研究项目的主要目标是重建南极洲詹姆斯罗斯岛盆地坎帕尼亚至始新世的花卉历史，主要基于孢粉型。 孢粉形态遍布西摩岛和詹姆斯罗斯岛盆地的部分邻近岛屿的近岸海洋到沿海/三角洲地层部分，并且数量丰富。 它们包括甲藻包囊和原质（海洋微型浮游植物）、其他海洋和淡水藻类、来自陆地植物和真菌遗骸的花粉和孢子。 该项目是西摩岛孢粉学持续研究的一部分，并与南极白垩纪-第三纪地质历史其他方面的研究相结合。
