Drilling for minerals deep in the ocean could have immense consequences for the tiny animals at the core of the vast marine food web — and ultimately affect fisheries and the food we find on our ...

The ocean naturally absorbs a quarter to a third of man-made CO 2 emissions, but this process also leads to the acidification of seawater. By increasing the alkalinity of seawater through the addition ...

New research shows that marine heat waves can reshape ocean food webs, which in turn can slow the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hamper the ocean's ability to buffer against climate change.

Deep-sea mining poses significant risks for a vital, hidden part of the ocean. That's the message from a new University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa study, the first to truly look at the impact of mining waste ...

New research shows that two marine phytoplankton species produce dramatically different volatile organic compounds depending ...

Food webs are ecological networks of consumption interactions, including the relationships between different trophic levels such as primary producers, herbivores, predators and decomposers. Key areas ...

New research shows that marine heatwaves can reshape ocean food webs, which in turn can slow the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hamper the ocean’s ability to buffer against climate change.

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 ...

Virus. The word evokes images of illness and fears of outbreaks. Yet, in the oceans, not all viruses are bad news. Some play a helpful, even critical, role in sustaining marine life. In a new study, ...

Deep-Sea Mining Risks Disrupting the Marine Food Web, Study Warns Drilling for minerals deep in the ocean could have immense consequences for the tiny animals at the core of the vast marine food web — ...
