Earthquakes Deep Below Antarctic Waters Seem to Have Surprising Effects on Life at the Surface
Shaking caused by quakes may cause ocean floor vents to release more nutrients, triggering blooms in plant-like organisms ...
The reason behind fish-kill instances in the Chesapeake Bay can be attributed to a strain of dangerous phytoplankton a new study claims. While there is little physical impact to people, the ...
Phytoplankton grow constantly and just about anywhere there are open, sunlit patches of ocean. When conditions are right, the growth of these microscopic cells can blossom to scales that are visible ...
How can earthquakes contribute to ocean life? This is what a recent study published in Nature Geoscience hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated a connection between seismic activity and ...
Photo Ash erupts high into the atmosphere from Kilauea in 2018. A new study found the eruption sparked a massive phytoplankton bloom that sequestered much of the carbon released during the eruption.
Single-celled algae in the ocean known as coccolithophores play an important role in the marine carbon cycle when they take ...
Despite its cold waters and harsh winds, the North Sea is a fertile basin for phytoplankton blooms. The drifting, plantlike organisms tend to be most abundant in late spring and early summer due to ...
Ash erupted high into the atmosphere from Kīlauea in 2018. Credit: U.S. Geological Survey When the Kīlauea Volcano erupted in May 2018, an enormous amount of ash was released into the atmosphere in a ...
The study of phytoplankton dynamics and algal bloom modelling has become increasingly significant in understanding aquatic ecosystems. Current research combines mathematical modelling with ecological ...
The research team recovers a sediment trap from the back deck of the ship to capture sinking particles. Large phytoplankton blooms north of the Hawaiian Islands have been seen in satellite imagery as ...
