In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on an ambitious research expedition to the North Atlantic to investigate the inner workings of the ocean's carbon cycle. A series of storms ...

The movement of carbon between the atmosphere, oceans and continents — or carbon cycle — regulates Earth’s climate, with the ocean playing a major role in carbon sequestration. A new study finds that ...

EU-funded researchers are developing a new generation of ocean sensors able to monitor previously hard-to-reach areas, promising clearer insight into how marine ecosystems are responding to climate ...

Researchers have developed a light-emitting sugar probe that exposes how marine microbes break down complex carbohydrates. The innovative fluorescent tool allows scientists to visualize when and where ...

In a recent publication in Science Bulletin, a multidisciplinary team of authors from Tongji University, the Second Institute of Oceanography (Ministry of Natural Resources), the Institute of Earth ...

Geoscientist Sinikka Lennartz is modelling the decomposition of organic carbon in the ocean – a much-overlooked factor in the global carbon balance. Her earth system models run on the University of ...

Marine heatwaves â those sudden, prolonged episodes of unusually warm ocean temperatures â do more than just stress marine life. They can reshape ocean food webs and slow the flow of carbon from ...
