Researchers Develop Novel Polyploid Breeding Method for Kelp
The research team from IOCAS has successfully developed new technique for kelp polyploid breeding.
Saccharina japonica and Undaria pinnatifida are the two most commercially important kelps in the world. However, continuous rising seawater temperatures and ...
Researchers Develop Wave-driven Tubular Platform for Corrosion Protection and Environmental Sensing
Researchers from IOCAS have developed a wave-driven tubular platform based on dynamic multi-interface electrical double layers.
Marine equipment faces persistent risks from coating damage and metal corrosion, while monitoring and protection systems require reliable power supplies and ...
Study Reveals Important Role of Deep Mantle Upwelling in Driving Back-Arc Spreading
A research team from IOCAS has made a three-dimensional (3-D) P-wave tomographic study of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana (IBM) subduction zone.
Subduction zones are among the most important sites for material circulation between Earth's surface and interior. Arc rupture and back arc expansion reflect...
Study Reveals How Deep-sea Methanogens Thrive in Phosphorus-Starved Environments
A research team from IOCAS has revealed that deep-sea methanogenic archaea efficiently utilize phosphorus and store energy through polyphosphate (polyP) meta...
In deep-sea ecosystems, methanogenic archaea are key drivers of the global methane cycle, particularly in methane-rich cold seep environments. Phosphorus, an...
Study Reveals Hidden Role of Phytoplankton in Multi-Year La Niña Evolution
A research team from IOCAS has found that phytoplankton-induced radiation effects reshape the evolution of multi-year La Niña.
La Niña—persistent abnormal cooling of sea surface temperatures (SST) in the central-eastern tropical Pacific—has profound global climate impacts. When su...

See How the Tiny One Stirs the Sea
To me, studying marine microbes is a way of exploring the invisible drivers of ocean life.
(Text by ZHAO Yuan, zhaoyuan@qdio.ac.cn)I was born in a coastal city, where I spent my childhood exploring tidal pools and observing the movements of tide an...
