Over six centuries of climate change recorded in coralline algae
Jochen Halfar, an associate professor from UTM’s Department of Chemical and Physical Sciences, has found a new method of modelling climate change by use of the algae Clathromorphum compactum. This species of algae is distributed throughout the Arctic and sub-Arctic oceans, and forms calcite crusts on the seafloor of shallow waters 15- to 17-metres deep. […]
