Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean ...

The impact of hurricanes when they travel over land, or when they affect ships or oil-drilling platforms, are quite well ...

Hurricanes move massive amounts of sediment from shallow reefs to deep oceans, affecting ecosystems long-term.

Within this vast ocean, the Weddell Sea is considered a ... year-round measurements of the processes controlling the carbon cycle. Part of this involved anchoring a scientific mooring to ...

Ocean ecosystems play a critical role in carbon ... seagrasses and other forms of sea life interact sheds light on Earth’s carbon cycle. Carbon, a chemical element, is found in all organic ...

"However, as seagrass meadows are particularly widespread in warm ocean regions ... them potentially available again to the ...

The authors use mid-latitude deep-water properties to infer carbon cycle changes in the polar Southern Ocean. They find biological and physical dynamics contributed to CO 2 release from the ...

A group of scientists from the University of Oldenburg, Germany, has discovered how special bacteria in the ocean break down ...

Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.
