Project description
How pelagic calcifiers will flourish into the future
The ocean is packed with organisms knowns as calcifiers, which provide various ecological functions. The impact of acidification and declining carbonate saturation state on calcifier mineralisation has been widely studied. The ERC funded SCOOBi project will explore what limits modern marine calcification rates and how these organisms will respond to future change. To do so, they will clarify how the environment controls the flow of energy from photosynthesis to calcification. By project end, SCOOBi will have an understanding of pelagic calcification rates based on mechanisms involved.
