Dr Kate Hendry Joins EU-Funded Project to Study Deep-Sea Sponge Ecosystems of North Atlantic

Dr Kate Hendry, Royal Society Research Fellow in the School of Earth Sciences, has joined an EU-funded project to examine the ecology and diversity of deep-sea sponge ecosystems in the North Atlantic.

Ocean Biodiversity More Resilient to Climate Change than Expected

The billions of single-celled marine organisms known as phytoplankton can drift from one region of the world's oceans to almost any other place on the globe in less than a decade, Princeton University researchers have found.

More CO2 in Air Could Mitigate Projected Damage to Crops Caused by Climate Change

Many scientists fear that global warming will hit staple food crops hard, with heat stress, extreme weather events and water shortages. On the other hand, higher levels of carbon dioxide--the main cause of ongoing warming--is known to boost many plants' productivity, and reduce their use of water.

New Research Project Aims to Clean Up Oilsands Wastewater Using Native Alberta Algae

A research project underway at the University of Calgary aims to clean up oilsands tailing ponds by using native algae already found in them to do the job.

Blowing Tiny Bubbles Through Seawater Could Help Protect Coral Reefs

Stanford scientists have discussed a way of dealing with neutralizing human activities that turn oceans acidic: blowing tiny bubbles. Blowing bubbles, they say, removes carbon dioxide (CO2) off coastal marine areas and transports it to the atmosphere, protecting coral reefs and oyster farms.

Calcifying Species can Dissolve During Night Due to More-Acidic Conditions Caused by Community Respiration

A new study, based on the most-extensive set of measurements ever made in tide pools, suggests that ocean acidification will increasingly put many marine organisms at risk by exacerbating normal changes in ocean chemistry that occur overnight. Conducted along California’s rocky coastline, the study from Carnegie’s Ken Caldeira and Lester Kwiatkowski shows that the most-vulnerable organisms are likely to be those with calcium carbonate shells or skeletons. It is published by Scientific Reports.

New Insights into Role of Greenhouse Gases from Land Ecosystems in Climate Change

A new research paper published in Nature, advances the understanding of how greenhouse gases from forests, grasslands, and agriculture other than carbon dioxide play a role in climate change.
