Collaborations

Our facilities are available to any researcher who wants to study an aspect of ocean acidification. Several projects and collaborations are already in progress.

Feel free to contact us if you want to work on ocean acidification in our centre.

Impact of ocean acidification on echinoderm larvae

Impact of ocean acidification on echinoderm early developmental stages is assessed at various level: genomics (skeletogenesis, GRN, etc.), eco-physiology (respiration rate, enzymatic activity, etc.), ecology, etc.
