Stones for the climate
If climate change causes more rain, this promotes the weathering of rocks and thus the erosion of the soil. The dissolved substances reach the sea via rivers. A new model…
Phytoplankton blooms offer insight into impacts of climate change
The first study into the biological response of the upper ocean in the wake of South Pacific cyclones could help predict the impact of warming ocean temperatures, New Zealand researchers…
Next-gen tech to better measure climate
As part of a newly funded NASA Quantum Pathways Institute consisting of a multi-university research team, UC Santa Barbara professor of electrical and computer engineering Daniel Blumenthal will help to build technology and tools…
Giant underwater waves affect the ocean’s ability to store carbon
Underwater waves deep below the ocean’s surface – some as tall as 500 metres – play an important role in how the ocean stores heat and carbon, according to new…
Where did Earth’s water come from?
Not melted meteorites, according to scientists. WHOI is part of a collaborative study, offering new insight into the extraterrestrial origins of our lakes, rivers and oceans. Water makes up 71%…
Extinction vulnerability during biodiversity crises is unpredictable
Predicting extinction vulnerability during a modern-day biodiversity crisis is a key objective for scientists. One approach is to use evidence from the past to make forecasts for the future. A…
