The fate of carbon in the marine environment, and potential modification of global climate, is driven by organisms ranging in size from 0.1 to 100 µm interacting at mm to cm scales. This research will provide the first high-resolution 3D measurements of distributions, diversity and dynamics of these key organisms. Australia provides the unique opportunity to study these microscale patterns and processes in archetypical examples of environments representative of the world's most significant marine ecosystems. These results will maintain Australia at the cutting-edge of marine environmental science, and provide the first application of novel sampling, analysis and modelling techiques to environments of the Australian economic exclusion zone.

海洋环境中碳的命运，以及全球气候的潜在变化，是由大小从0.1到100微米的生物在毫米到厘米尺度上相互作用所驱动的。这项研究将首次提供这些关键生物的分布、多样性和动态的高分辨率3D测量。澳大利亚提供了独特的机会，可以在代表世界上最重要的海洋生态系统的典型环境实例中研究这些微尺度模式和过程。这些成果将使澳大利亚保持在海洋环境科学的前沿，并首次将新颖的采样、分析和建模技术应用于澳大利亚经济禁区的环境。
