(1) Origins and early
diversification of
photosynthetic microbiota
Investigation of the phenotypic features, ultrastructure and biochemistry of Proterozoic-Cambrian microbiota
("acritarchs") with advanced techniques in microscopy and spectroscopy
in search of their affinities and timing of divergences.
Study of the response of the phytoplankton to the end-Proterozoic
glaciations to test theories of their severity and impact on the
biosphere. [more]

Phenotypic evolution of marine microalgae
during the Cenozoic
Statistically robust time series of size changes in microfossils are
related to proxy records of past climate, in combination with
experimental studies of modern species under variable environmental
conditions.
