- Additional information
- This study is one of the first to systematically investigate the likely impact of climate change (e.g. Ocean acidification and temperature rise in seawater) on those marine organisms that produce calcium carbonate shells and exoskeletons. The paper has provided vital evidence/information about changes in the biomineralization process of shell formation and the properties of the shell formed. The work was a result of continuing collaboration funded partially by a Research Council, Glasgow Research Partnership in Engineering (GRPE) and charity.
