Drivers and Impacts of Coastal Ocean Acidification

Project: Dissertation

Project Details

Description

Foraminifera are single-celled shell-bearing animals and they are excellent environmental conditions recorders. For my PhD project, I’m using foraminifera to improve our knowledge about the current ocean acidification. The aim is to combine past and present data to observe how much pH has changed over the last 200 years in the Baltic Sea region, and to predict eventual changes on coastal ecosystems in the future.
