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

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

The sediments deposited into the traps in the deep ocean aid in the formation of shallow water reefs, which in turn help in carbon capturing and storage. The study also highlights the role of shallow ...

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

In the desert areas of Namibia, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, research work has revealed unusual structures that are probably due to the activity of an unknown microbiological life form. Unusually small ...

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 ...

The report said long-term global warming is currently estimated to be between 1.34 and 1.41 degrees Celsius compared to the ...

WOODS HOLE, Mass. – The impact of hurricanes when they travel over land, or when they affect ships or oil-drilling platforms, are quite well understood. But these huge cyclones also stir up the ocean ...
