Chemistry Paleoceanography
Where do diatoms hide their silver?
Where would you hide your silver? Diatoms like to hide their silver in their squishy insides.
Microbiology Plastic
Can we use bacteria to help clean up plastic in the ocean?
A "microbiosphere" could be engineered to introduce plastic-degrading bacteria to marine plastic pollution, but many questions still remain.
Coastal Management
Are seagrasses our climate change superheroes?
Researchers use satellite data to assess the carbon sequestration potential of seagrass beds in the Bahamas
Microbiology
What controls a sea anemone’s microbiome?
Scientists explore the influence of geography and genetics on bacterial symbiont communities
Sea-level Rise
Sea Level, Tides, and Coastal Flooding
Are areas with larger tidal ranges more likely to flood?
deep sea Ocean Exploration
Growing Up in an Ever-Warming Sauna
The deep-sea is warming like the rest of the world. What does this mean for the fish that live there?
Climate Change Ocean Acidification Oysters
Are Pacific Oysters ready for the heat?
How are adult and larval oysters sensitive to ocean acidification and warming?
Invasive Species
A Timely Tool for the Race Against Sun Corals
How Brazilian researchers are racing the clock to fight the invasion of sun corals and globalization with digital tools.
Biology
Exploring the cell types of the European squid
Scientists use cutting-edge technology to learn about the cell biology of cephalopods.
Atmospheric Science
The Indian Ocean dipole, the African continent south of the equator, and rainfall: making sense of it all
Ibebuchi, C. C., 2023: Circulation patterns linked to the positive sub-tropical Indian Ocean dipole. Adv. Atmos. Sci., 40(1), 110−128,…
Ecology
One s(hell) of an issue
One of the largest bivalves in the world and its survival struggle: a majestic fight
Sea-level Rise
The Lesser Explored Connection Between Storm Surge and Sea-Level Rise
Coastal flood risk is usually determined according to mean sea-level. However, changes in storminess can also impact coastal flooding.
Coral deep sea
Striving to survive: cold water coral and warming seas
The poles are warming faster than anywhere else, possibly creating trouble for baby cold water coral.
Aquaculture Climate Change Developmental Biology
Larval thermal tolerance of a marine whelk is affected by marine heat wave temperatures
How do marine heat wave temperatures affect larval gastropods, and what does this mean for an emerging shellfishery?
Ecology
Two species, both alike in dignity
Two species of zooplankton—one from the Arctic, and the other from the North Atlantic—have surprisingly similar distributions in Arctic fjords
Evolution
A Bigger Chill: Climatic Influences on the Evolution of Teleost Fishes
Teloest fishes all look different! But could the evolution of their bodies be linked to climate?
Plastic
Chemicals released from plastic disrupt marine microbes
We know how plastic pieces affect ocean life, but do we think enough about “invisible” chemicals from plastic?
Pollution
Coastal Erosion and Marine Litter Pollution
Coastal dunes, which are present along many coastlines, likely contain accumulations of litter that can enter the marine environment.
Evolution
Bland, Blind and Beautiful
Why did these sea snails lose their color and vision in the deep sea?
