Through urine, feces, placentas, carcasses and sloughing skin, whales bring thousands of tons of nitrogen and other nutrients from high-latitude areas like Alaska and Antarctica to low-nutrient ...

The PEF (Product Environmental Footprint) method is a standardized, science-based approach developed by the European ...

A new first-of-its kind study found the marine mammals vocalized less after a marine heat wave decimated their prey, making whale songs a barometer of the effects of climate change on ocean ...

The plan is being led out of Guangzhou, a gigantic port city northwest of Hong Kong on the Pearl River that leads to the South China Sea. There are a few components to the project, but the jewel in ...

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

When a hurricane passes, it stirs up cold, nutrient-rich water, which helps bacteria and plankton grow in the upper ocean, according to a new study.

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

Neither Porto Alegre, Brazil, nor Valencia, Spain, are in the news this week. But they have been before, and almost certainly ...

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