Scientists have found that an increase in water salinity in the cells of the marine diatom Nitzschia weakens the connections ...

Their recent study published in Advanced Sustainable Systems demonstrates that the fossil remains of diatoms (a type of algae) can efficiently remove contaminants from water after being chemically ...

Scientists have modeled the potential consequences of a 500-meter asteroid colliding with Earth. The research delves into how such an event would impact both terrestrial and marine ecosystems.

Most phytoplankton, composed of diatoms, algae, Cyanobacteria and other organisms which perform photosynthesis, are beneficial and essential to the ecology of our lakes and the food web fueling our ...

Our diatom research is focused on the pursuit of comparative biology: the systematics, evolution and biogeography of freshwater diatoms. The research covers both extinct and extant taxa, and utilises ...

I became excited about algae, and diatoms in particular, during amazing field experiences at the University of Michigan Biological Station and Iowa Lakeside Lab. I received a MS degree (Biological ...
