Published purpose

The project will test how microplastic exposure affects psychrophilic algae under long-term warming stress. The project will use AI-controlled photobioreactors to culture polar algae under simulated warming and microplastic exposure. They will integrate experimental data with machine learning and create predictive models of algal resilience under environmental change.
