Subject

Natural sciences > biology, biological oceanography, planktology, climatology (nature/conservation)

Description

Classifying plankton from images gathered by the In Situ Ichthyoplankton Imaging System.

Purpose.

The information can be used to map oceanic carbon dioxide levels, as plankton provide a valid indicator.

Research question.

Understanding how plankton types are distributed at a variety of ocean depths.
