Joanna Paczkowska (Umeå University) is visiting us within the framework of an international cooperation research project.
We are carrying out experiments focused in determining the responses of phytoplankton from the Chubut River estuary to global change variables – solar radiation, nutrients, pH and dissolved organic matter. The activities are funded by the Swedish Secretariat for Environmental Earth System Sciences (SSEESS) (in a collaborative partnership with the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, FORTE, Formas, Vetenskapsrådet and Sida), the Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y Tecnológica (ANPCyT, Argentina) and Fundación Playa Unión.
