I am doing research on marine algae, particularly diatoms and dinoflagellates which are the major groups of photosynthetic organisms in the ocean. As well as being an important part of the food chain, the diatoms contribute to global climate regulation by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and the dinoflagellates play a similar role and are essential for the survival of coral reefs. In order to understand how algal cells survive changes in light intensity, nutrition and temperature, it is essential to be able to culture them in the laboratory under controlled conditions. This grant application is for a controlled environment chamber to replace one that was bought in 1968 and which is continually breaking down.

我正在研究海洋藻类，特别是硅藻和甲藻，它们是海洋中光合生物的主要类群。硅藻不仅是食物链的重要组成部分，还通过清除大气中的二氧化碳来促进全球气候调节，甲藻也发挥着类似的作用，对珊瑚礁的生存至关重要。为了了解藻类细胞如何在光强度、营养和温度的变化中生存，必须能够在实验室受控条件下培养它们。此项拨款申请旨在建造一个受控环境室，以取代 1968 年购买的、不断出现故障的环境室。
