How do foraminifera grow? Determining the role of cellular ion transport processes in biogenic marine calcite formation

University of Southampton School of Ocean and Earth Sciences

Project rationale. The shells of calcifying planktonic marine organisms such as the foraminifera represent one of the largest long-term carbon sinks on Earth’s surface and are an important archive of geochemical systems that record past climate change. Read more

The Molecular Blueprint for Marine Biomineralization in a Changing Climate: Investigation of the molecular biology of calcification in the crucial marine calcifiers, foraminifera.

University of Stirling School of Biological & Environmental Sciences

Rapid climate change due to anthropogenic CO. 2. emissions is having a substantial impact on the marine system. This is particularly true for organisms which calcify, as ocean acidification (OA) progressively challenges their ability to produce their calcium carbonate shells. Read more
