An X-ray imaging technique to produce 3D visualization of both internal and external structures of marine organisms (plankton, sponges etc.). It can provide insights on changes in key species functions (filtration, reef-building etc.) in response to environmental changes.
- Ecological
Assigning ecological value to an area through integration of the inherent value of the various ecosystem components, independent of human uses and is measured in non-monetary terms.
