Southern Ocean Radiolarian Biogeography
Map of Southern Ocean Radiolarian Provinces
This project is part of my PhD and aims to:
- define Southern Ocean radiolarian biogeographic provinces
- determine which environmental variables are likely to be responsible for the partitions
- calculate species diversity and richness, and investigate if biogeography and/or environment drives this.

I reconstruct past ocean conditions using siliceous microfossils, and a lot of number crunching!
