Marine Bioaerosols
We investigate the fascinating world of marine bioaerosols – microorganisms transported through the atmosphere above the marine environment.
We explore the complex journey of these airborne microorganisms, examining their origins, metabolic capabilities, and survival strategies as they traverse between ocean and atmosphere.
By studying their environmental interactions, emission mechanisms, and ecological significance, we aim to uncover how these tiny travelers contribute to global biogeochemical cycles, impact climate patterns, and health.
