This project aims to resolve the foundations of healthy ocean function by employing innovative approaches to uncover the links between marine chemistry and microbiology. While the importance of microbes in governing ocean health is unquestionable, they are often studied over inappropriately large-scales, leading to inaccurate interpretation of the oceanic processes that ultimately influence fishery production and climate control. We will develop new oceanographic tools and analytical techniques to provide a unique "microbes-eye-view" of the sea. The project's outcomes are anticipated to deliver transformative new knowledge on the controls of ocean productivity and sustainability, helping to safeguard Australia’s valuable marine estate.

该项目旨在通过采用创新方法揭示海洋化学和微生物学之间的联系，解决健康海洋功能的基础问题。虽然微生物在管理海洋健康方面的重要性是毋庸置疑的，但它们往往被不适当地大规模研究，导致对最终影响渔业生产和气候控制的海洋过程的不准确解释。我们将开发新的海洋学工具和分析技术，以提供独特的海洋“微生物视角”。该项目的成果预计将提供有关控制海洋生产力和可持续性的变革性新知识，帮助保护澳大利亚宝贵的海洋财产。
