Monash academics from the Centre for Biospectroscopy are pioneering research using the Australian Synchrotron to examine the effects of climate change on microalgae photosynthesis.

Microalgae could be described as nature's vacuum cleaners, fixing 65 billion tonnes of carbon per year.

This research will help to determine what may happen to our natural environmental defences under the predicted factors of climate change.

The research team includes Dr Philip Heraud, Professor John Beardall, Professor Don McNaughton , Dr Bayden Wood, Mr Anthony Eden and Ms Sally Caine.
