海洋初级生产者的沉积物残渣提供了有关过去环境和气候条件的有价值的长期信息（百年至千禧年）。通过组合来自不同微化石群的数据，因此有可能获得关于几乎任何种类的水生生态系统的状态和时间变化的综合回顾视图，并了解系统如何对变化的环境做出反应。海洋生物的化石残骸（恐龙鞭毛虫和硅藻）和由它们产生的地球化学示踪剂（例如IP25，三烯），以探究巴芬湾北部原始生产和海洋条件的变化，与晚新世（即新世代）的气候变化有关最近4000年）。未来的项目可能包括与有害藻华的长期趋势以及北极海冰状况，海洋环流和初级生产之间的关系有关的主
The sedimentary remains of marine primary producers provide valuable long-term information (centennial to millennial) on past environmental and climatic conditions. By combining data from different microfossil groups, it is therefore possible to obtain an integrated retrospective view on the state and change through time of virtually any kind of aquatic ecosystem, and understand how a system responds to a changing environment.Current research projects look into the fossil remains of marine protists (dinoflagellates and diatoms) and geochemical tracers produced by these (e.g. IP25, triene) to explore the changes in primary production and oceanographic conditions from northern Baffin Bay, in relation to the climatic variability of the late Holocene (i.e. the last 4000 years). Future projects may include topics related to the long-term trends in harmful algal blooms and on the relation between Arctic sea-ice conditions, ocean circulation and primary production.
