Abstract

AN OVERVIEW OF DIATOM AND ITS APPLICATIONS ON THE GEOSCIENCE AREA. Diatoms have been being studied in many countries. Diatoms provide a valuable and well-understood means on biomonitoring – one of which is focused on the base of the aquatic foodweb and highly representative of water quality. They are found in most aquatic environments and the sys tematic and taxonomic investigations of modern and fossil diatoms have been supported by numerous stud ies of distributional ecology. Diatom systematics, taxonomy and ecology indeed offer a wide scope of applications - from water quality to environmental monitoring and biostratigraphy as well as on geoscience area. The application of diatom analysis in determining whether drowning was the cause of death has proven to be a valuable tool in forensic science. Furthermore, diatoms can provide a record of environmental conditions because their relationship to water quality and aquatic habitat has been already known, and the diatom cell wall, which is silicified to form a frustule, is well-preserved, easily detectable and occurs in high numbers in sediment and water. However, this should not be limited to simply make an inventory of data: thoughtful ecology and paleo-ecology will assist in predicting the environmental impact of pollution and climate changes.

Abstract

MARINE SEDIMENT AS PROXY TO DETERMINE CLIMATE DYNAMICS IN THE PAST. Studying the dynamics of climate change in the past is important and necessary, because it can serve as a basis for understanding the modern climate and the causes of its variations and changes. Evidence of past climatic conditions is usually archived on traces in nature that provide a proxy of past climatic conditions that we can explore. One of the major sources of proxy data for paleoclimate reconstruction is marine sediment. Microfossils usually used for quantitative proxy is foraminifer, diatom, pollen and etc. For the purposes of paleoclimate, the most important material is foraminifera. The paleoclimate results from the remains of carbonate and silica organisms have been generated from four types of analyzes: (a) oxygen isotope composition, especially calcium carbonate in foraminifer test (b) quantitative interpretation of species and its spatial variation through (c) the ratio of Mg / Ca to the foram test, which is related to temperature, and (d) the morphological variation in certain species resulting from environmental factors.
