With AIC, we’re adding highly technical instrumentation and avionics capabilities that allow us to take on a broader ...

We examine diatoms via research-grade microscopes. Our lab also houses several thousand glass microslides and archived material, primarily from arctic, alpine and Antarctic lakes and streams. Our work ...

Diatoms, mighty microscopic algae, have profound influence on climate, producing 20 percent of the oxygen we breathe by capturing atmospheric carbon and in so doing, countering the greenhouse effect.

A biosensor made of fluorescent proteins embedded in the shell of microscopic marine algae called diatoms could help detect chemicals in water samples. The same research could also lead to new, diatom ...

The key to effectively measuring damagingly high levels of nutrients in freshwater streams lies in the microscopic organisms living in them, according to a group of Drexel University scientists. A ...

The dense phytoplankton blooms that characterize productive regions and seasons in the sea are dominated, from high to low latitudes and from coast line to open ocean, by comparatively few, often ...
