From plankton shells to past oceans: How biomineral accretion records seawater physics with Stergios Zarkogiannis

Speaker: Stergios Zarkogiannis, Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research Abstract: Planktonic foraminifera are single-celled marine organisms that build calcite shells and have done so since the Jurassic (~200 Ma). Their shells preserve a rich archive of past ocean conditions through geochemical…
