In a recent study, scientists at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), demonstrate for the first time that ocean acidification could have negative ...
A new study of marine organisms that make up the 'biofouling community' -- tiny creatures that attach themselves to ships' hulls and rocks in the ocean around the world -- shows how they adapt ...
Ecologists sometimes look to mussel species, a well-studied and foundational genus in estuaries, as model organisms for assessing the condition of coastal habitats, which are crucial for people...
This global positioning satellite receiver is part of Iceland's network of 62 such receivers that geoscientists are using to detect movements of the Icelandic crust that are as small as one mil...
"We've shown that we can generate images of the subsurface nearly every day instead of taking snapshots just two or three times a year," said Biondo Biondi, professor of geophysics at Stanford'...
At the frontier of marine science, scores of Plymouth researchers are leading the way in advancing knowledge and transforming our understanding of the environment. Nowhere is this better demons...
The El Ni？o/Southern Oscillation is Earth’s most prominent source of interannual climate variability, alternating irregularly between El Ni？o and La Ni？a, and resulting in global disruption...
The slope in mean sea level along the coast is subject to stronger constraints than that in open ocean regions. The zero-order balance in the open ocean is geostrophic balance, in which sea lev...
Seafloor sediment cores reveal abrupt, extensive loss of oxygen in the ocean when ice sheets melted roughly 10,000-17,000 years ago, according to a study from the University of California, Davi...
After testing dust in the air near cattle feedlots in the Southern High Plains, researchers at The Institute of Environmental and Human Health at Texas Tech University found evidence of antibio...
