An AWI study gives a potential explanation as to why the ocean around Antarctica is defying climate model projections and continuing to absorb CO2, despite the effects of climate change.

A few miles north of Berlin, the Schönerlinde wastewater treatment plant hums with quiet urgency. Dark brown water flows through a series of concrete tanks, alive with microorganisms breaking down almost everything that’s flushed away in the northeastern parts of the nearby German capital.

Every year, many millions of tons of plastic end up in the ocean. It’s a serious and rapidly increasing environmental problem.

On the edge of California’s Monterey Bay, ecologist Matthew Savoca and a team of volunteers sift through sand and seawater for microplastics, one of the planet’s most pervasive forms of pollution.

Ammonia is one of the most widely produced chemicals in the world, used mostly as fertilizer, but also for the production of some plastics, textiles, and other applications.
