From ice algae to sediments in the frozen arctic seas: the contribution of direct sedimentation and zooplankton grazing on the vertical flux of carbon
Principal Investigator: Fortier, Louis
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researchers will be examining small marine organisms (algae, zooplankton and phytoplankton) to determine their influence on global warming. Carbon is necessary for the production of carbon dioxide (CO2), and increase levels of CO2 in the atmosphere can contribute to an increase in the earth's overall temperature. The study will examine how these small marine creatures can reduce carbon level...
