Understanding complex Earth systems : volatile metabolites as microbial ecosystem proxies and student conceptual model development of coastal eutrophication /

Understanding complex Earth systems is challenging for scientists and students alike, because of the characteristics (e.g. bifurcations, self-organization, chaotic response) that are associated with these systems. This research integrates two research strands which contribute to the scientific and p...
