In the 20th century, industrial whaling decimated global whale populations, reducing them by an estimated 99%. This loss ...

Roughly 71% of our planet is covered by water, and 97% of that is an ocean wrapped around land masses that rise from the sea ...

The technique harnesses the animals' daily habits to essentially accelerate the ocean’s natural cycle for removing carbon ...

Some of the world's smallest animals and their tiny poops could aid in the fight against climate change. A study reports that clay dust sprayed on the surface of seawater converts free-floating carbon ...

A Dartmouth-led study proposes a new method for recruiting trillions of microscopic sea creatures called zooplankton in the ...

The researchers' method would spray clay dust on large blooms of microscopic marine plants called phytoplankton, which can cover hundreds of square miles and remove 150 billion tons of carbon dioxide ...

The researchers aim to enhance the efficiency of the biological pump—a cycle that transfers carbon from the atmosphere to the ...

The new technique begins with large blooms of microscopic plants called phytoplankton. These phytoplankton blooms remove ...

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 ...

The ocean naturally absorbs a quarter to a third of man-made CO2 emissions, but this process also leads to the acidification ...

Hotter oceans kill plankton, upon which the entire maritime ecosystem depends. They are the meal at the base of the food ...

This valuable research contributes to our understanding of marine plankton diversity and gene expression by employing robust methodologies for sample collection and analysis. However, it lacks a ...
