RAPID: Linking gene expression, silicification, and diatom-bound nitrogen isotopes in fiel — NSF Award to University of Rhode Isla
Diatoms are microscopic algae that live in oceans and other aquatic environments. Different diatom species thrive in different conditions, and so diatom fossils can be used as historical records of ocean environments, including the availability of nutrients such as nitrogen and silicon that are important components of

| Abstract | Diatoms are microscopic algae that live in oceans and other aquatic environments. Different diatom species thrive in different conditions, and so diatom fossils can be used as historical records of ocean environments, including the availability of nutrients such as nitrogen and silicon that are important components of ocean ecosystems. This RAPID proposal aims to understand how environmental conditions and the species of diatom may impact these records. The investigators will use recently collec |
