Foraminifera are tiny, single-celled organisms that live in all of our planet`s oceans. They are the most abundant single-celled organisms in the marine environment and, despite their small size, they are absolutely essential for understanding the evo-lution of life and ecosystems in Earth. They react very sens-itively to physical and chemical environmental changes and 
are therefore ideal indicators for scientists to reconstruct the climate history of our Earth.

In collaboration with micropaleontology researchers from the UiT Tromsø University, I created the two characters 
Nina Floaty & Berry Ground which are based one two foraminifera species living in the Arctic Ocean:
a) Neogloboquadrina pachyderma and
b) Melonis barleeanus
