The ocean naturally absorbs a quarter to a third of man-made CO2 emissions, but this process also leads to the acidification ...
The new technique begins with large blooms of microscopic plants called phytoplankton. These phytoplankton blooms remove ...
Plankton, the base of the food chain for marine ecosystems worldwide, are facing potential dangers as the oceans warm. This ...
A Dartmouth-led study proposes a new method for recruiting trillions of microscopic sea creatures called zooplankton in the ...
The technique harnesses the animals' daily habits to essentially accelerate the ocean’s natural cycle for removing carbon ...
‘Recent estimates suggest that 1,000 visitors to a beach in a single day could release 36 kg of sunscreen into the ...
They drift aimlessly at sea, soaking up sunlight from the sky and nutrients from the deep. Often invisible to the naked eye, these tiny invertebrates form the hidden backbone of ocean ecosystems.
To mitigate climate change, human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be reduced as quickly and drastically as possible. Additionally, some of the CO2 already emitted needs to be safely removed ...
Our study highlights the difference between faster human-induced and slower-paced geological warming for marine plankton. Current climate change is too rapid and is reducing food supply due to ...
Researchers have discovered significant changes in the growth patterns of deep-living phytoplankton due to global warming, as ...
Discover how plankton, the ocean's microscopic marvels, play a vital role in oxygen production and carbon sequestration.
