The ocean is a vast and complex web of intertwined systems. Chemistry, currents, temperature and nutrients all ebb and flow, each feeding back into the others. A multinational research team, led by UC ...

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 ...

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 ...

A recent study has made microscopic fossils messengers from a warmer world, showing that the tropical Pacific Ocean could be much more stable—and robust—than previously thought. Analyzing nitrogen ...

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 ...

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 ...
