Project information
Project aim
This project examines the interactions and feedback between marine polar plankton and global climate through the use of biogeochemical and global climate models. The project focuses on the cycling of sulphur and the sensitivity of climate to the current and future biogenic production of dimethylsulphide at polar latitudes.
