New research highlights the benefits of combining existing long-term plankton monitoring programs and emerging technologies in monitoring the health of our seas. Advances in technology -- such as ...

While it's very rare, it can be deadly—a brain infection by a microbe widely known as the "brain-eating amoeba." The pathogen in question is called Naegleria fowleri. The "brain-eating" part ...

Almost all living things breathe oxygen to eliminate the excess electrons produced when nutrients are converted into energy. However, most microbes that mitigate pollution and climate change don't ...

However, they should not be employed at the expense of long-term plankton monitoring programmes, which continue to provide an essential role in tracking how our seas are shifting in the face of a ...

Focuses on the biogeochemical cycling of trace metals in marine systems. CalCOFI is a long-term, interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral ecosystem research program off the coast of California that ...

Naegleria fowleri amoeba feeds on bacteria and grows in warm, fresh water sources — it can cause amoebic meningitis, a rare but usually fatal disease which destroys a person’s brain tissue. The ...

These freshwater swimming holes are great, but they come with a hidden danger. While it's very rare, it can be deadly – a brain infection by a microbe widely known as the "brain-eating amoeba". The ...
