SANCOOP-South Africa - Norway research co-operation on climate, the environment og clean energy

Southern Ocean Phytoplankton Adaption to mimicked future changes in light and iron availability - Molecular bases and modelling (SOPA)

Planteplankton i Sørishavet fjerner om lag 10% av de menneskeskapte CO2 utslippene hvert år og reduserer dermed effekten av dagens høye forbruk av fossilt brennstoff. På verdensbasis binder planteplankton mer CO2 enn det som bindes av alle verdens regnskoger. I dette prosjektet har vi som mål å f...
