Antarctic marine diatoms: Key to predicting the effects of global climate change on a temperature-sensitive ecosystem. This project aims to determine the effects of global climate change on Antarctic diatoms. Diatoms are a major component of the polar phytoplankton. They are sensitive to changes in their marine environment, detection of which is an essential part of the Antarctic climate change strategy. Understanding the environmental processes that cause natural variation in extant diatoms will make it possible to reconstruct the response of fossil diatoms, preserved in marine sediments, to past climate change. This understanding is vital for predicting the effect of future anthropogenic warming on this ecosystem.

南极海洋硅藻：预测全球气候变化对温度敏感生态系统影响的关键。该项目旨在确定全球气候变化对南极硅藻的影响。硅藻是极地浮游植物的主要组成部分。它们对海洋环境的变化很敏感，探测海洋环境的变化是南极气候变化战略的一个重要组成部分。了解导致现存硅藻自然变异的环境过程将使重建保存在海洋沉积物中的化石硅藻对过去气候变化的反应成为可能。这种理解对于预测未来人为变暖对该生态系统的影响至关重要。
