Melting ice from West Antarctica once delivered huge amounts of iron to the Southern Ocean, but algae growth did not increase as expected. Researchers found the iron was in a form that marine life ...

New studies show how algae grows on ice and snow, creating “dark zones” that exacerbate melting in the consequential region.

A study in Nature Geoscience reveals that changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) closely tracked marine algae growth ...

Windblown dust delivers nutrients to algae on Greenland ice, darkening the surface and accelerating melting and sea level ...

Scientists studying ancient ocean sediments discovered a surprising link between the shrinking of West Antarctica’s ice and the Southern Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide.

Plastic pollution may be quietly fueling algal blooms by knocking out the grazers that usually keep algae under control.

Florida's Indian River Lagoon (IRL), one of the state's most ecologically productive estuaries, is facing a growing but ...

A new study in Nature Geoscience uncovers a surprising link between West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreat and the growth of marine ...

Wild fish sustain life in Sierra Leone’s fishing towns, but declining stocks mean fish farming is needed. However, fishing ...

Lake Victoria receives industrial effluent from factories, untreated sewage from Kampala and surrounding suburbs, and ...

Florida’s Indian River Lagoon (IRL) is increasingly stressed by nutrient pollution, harmful algal blooms, and rising atmospheric CO₂, which acidifies lagoon waters and reduces aragonite—the calcium ...

Calcium derived from a plant-based source not only supports bone strength, but it also provides minerals that are vital to ...
