Keywords:Biogeosciences, foraminifera, proxy, natural history, basic

Since JpGU Biogeoscience Section was established on 2010, we are continuously holding international session in collaboration with EGU. This session aims to discuss ecological and environmental information through geochemical data of proxy organisms, such as calcifier or silicifier. We encourage to carry out both biological and goescientific approaches. I will shed light on foraminiferal biodiversity and its application to environmental proxies.
