Irvine, Calif., Feb. 4, 2025 — Computer models reveal how human-driven climate change will dramatically overhaul critical nutrient cycles in the ocean. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

When scientists aboard the RRS Sir David Attenborough pulled seawater samples from around one of the largest icebergs on Earth, they expected to find a familiar pattern: glacial melt enriching the ...

A new study published in Nature Geoscience has revealed that the global ocean's chemical makeup is undergoing a transformation, with key nutrient ratios critical to marine life shifting away from the ...

Chestnut Hill, Mass (10/31/2022) – Oxygen-starved ocean “dead zones,” where fish and animals cannot survive, have been expanding in the open ocean and coastal waters for several decades as a result of ...

Zooplankton ingestion of microplastic reduces grazing pressure and permits more algal growth. More algal growth leads to more organic particles sinking out of the surface ocean. When these extra ...

Barcelona is hosting the International Conference on Ocean Nutrient Dynamics and Biological Regulation as new studies reveal crucial links between nutrient cycles, climate change, and marine ecosystem ...

For the first time, scientists have incorporated the diel cycle into a global ocean model in order to investigate its effects on phytoplankton. Their study investigates how the day/night cycle affects ...

How can ocean viruses influence the global carbon cycle? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of researchers from Rutgers University and Bar-Ilan ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...
