Mesoscale ocean eddies transport nutrients and energy-rich lipids, helping sustain marine ecosystems far from coasts.

New research reveals that PET-based glitter microplastics can actively influence biomineralization processes in marine ...

Earth's oceans may have displayed a very different color several billion years ago. This hypothesis emerges from a recent ...

Mesoscale eddies, oceanic gyres about 100 kilometers in diameter, are ubiquitous features of the global ocean and play a ...

The more corroded marine structures in an area, the more potential new homes for the marine larvae to attach to and grow on.

How is organic matter transported from productive coastal areas to the open ocean? Researchers have now shown that eddies play a crucial role in this process. The swirling currents contain large ...

The study of the processes by which marine organisms grow and how factors such as temperature, nutrition, microbes, predators, and hormones influence development. (Green fluorescent amphioxus photo by ...

A growing industry is racing to engineer a solution to global warming using the absorbent power of the oceans.

In a recent study published in Engineering, researchers have developed a hybrid keratin and liquid metal hydrogel. This ...

Photo Credit: NASA Oxygen-starved ocean “dead zones,” where fish and animals cannot survive, have been expanding in the open ocean and coastal waters for several decades as a result of human ...

Biochemical and physiological mechanisms of adaptation of organisms to the marine environment. Special emphasis is on biological responses to temperature, salinity, carbon dioxide, pH and bicarbonate ...
