Seagrass beds are un­derwater oases. Now researchers have discovered vast amounts of sugars underneath seagrass meadows. 

Waves break once they swell to a critical height, before cresting and crashing into a spray of droplets and bubbles. 

Protected areas — such as nature reserves, national parks, and wilderness areas — are essential to conserving biodiversity. 

A combination of atmospheric measurements and fine-scale simulations has improved understanding of the modeling anomalies that arise when the model resolution approximates the length scale of turbulence features — an atmospheric simulation problem known as Terra Incognita. 

Coral species exhibit different temperature tolerances. This is in part due to the composition of their microalgae symbionts.
