The new findings suggest that marine microbes use photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is used by marine bacteria to take in carbon dioxide. Scientists may be able to…
According to new research, the evolution of tree roots may have triggered a series of mass extinctions. Geologists find parallels between ancient, global-scale extinction events…
Rogue waves are greater than twice the size of the surrounding waves. Extreme nonlinear wave group dynamics in directional wave states. Understanding the unexpected nature…

The findings indicate that, before the Little Ice Age, the North Atlantic climate system lost resilience and destabilized, potentially forcing it to “tip” into a…
The Mediterranean Sea was hit by a major marine heatwave. Many parts of Europe saw record-breaking temperatures over the summer. However, it wasn’t just the…

When outfitted with a groundbreaking “laboratory in a can” to sample environmental DNA (eDNA), nimble robots like MBARI’s long-range autonomous underwater vehicle (LRAUV) can expand…
200 million-year-old deposits of the precursor of the Mediterranean Sea have been preserved in the Swiss High Alps. Whale-sized ichthyosaurs came from the open sea…
The Antarctic ozone hole reached its maximum area for the year on October 7, 2021, and ranks as the 13th largest since 1979. Scientists from…
Among the ecological communities studied are corals. An international team of environmental scientists has published a series of significant recommendations to protect, conserve and study…
Large predatory fish are expected to lag behind temperature shifts due to food-web dynamics. Sophisticated model reveals how predator-prey relationships affect species’ ranges. Warming of…
