New research finds when microbes don’t get the metals they need, the result may be more consequential than previously understood

Tropical coral species may have found an alternative habitat where they can thrive in the face of climate change.

The Pacific Ocean covers a third of the planet’s surface, so it’s no surprise that when its vast expanse along the Equator gets stuck in either a warm El Niño or cool La Niña phase, that has globe-spanning consequences.

Among the 10 bodies of water in the research, toxigenic Dolichospermum cyanobacteria caused blooms in four of them

Particulate pollution remained high even while Covid-19 slowed the global economy.

The Antarctic has also played a profound role in regulating the world’s climate, in part by absorbing heat and carbon dioxide emissions resulting from human activity.

Researchers note that modeling results could be used to improve nitrogen rate calculators currently in use.

NOAA’s real-time observations to aid Naval Base Kitsap and mariners

Data collected on cruise SE 22-04 will give scientists a snapshot of this unique ecosystem and offer insight into how it is likely to change in the face of global climate change.

Were Earth’s oceans completely covered by ice during the Cryogenian period, about 700 million years ago, or was there an ice-free belt of open water around the equator where sponges and other forms of life could survive?
