Ocean Acidification Affects Formation of Skeleton of Coralline Algae

Ocean acidification (the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans, caused by the uptake of CO2 from the atmosphere), is affecting the formation of the skeleton of coralline algae which play an important part in marine biodiversity, new research from the University of Bristol, UK has found.

Regenerated Tropical Forests Sequester More Carbon than Old-Growth Tropical Forests

Researchers find that regenerated tropical forests exhibit a high level of resilience and play a much larger role in sequestering carbon than previously thought.

Additional Grants Sanctioned to Study Impact of Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill on Marine Ecosystem

When it occurred on April 20, 2010, scientists and marine biologists knew almost immediately it was one of the worst environmental incidents in human history. Almost as soon as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill was capped, researchers set about studying the immediate and long-term effects it had on the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem.

Greenland's Melting Ice Sheet Large Amounts of Phosphorus Every Year

Not only is Greenland's melting ice sheet adding huge amounts of water to the oceans, it could also be unleashing 400,000 metric tons of phosphorus every year – as much as the mighty Mississippi River releases into the Gulf of Mexico, according to a new study.

Researchers Identify How Marine Flowering Plant Adapts to Saline Environments

To mitigate carbon emissions in the atmosphere, researchers have turned to sinks--reservoirs that accumulate and store carbon such as tropical rainforests, but also including a variety of terrestrial plants as well as oceans. However, another lesser known but very large carbon sink is located along the earth’s soft-sediment shorelines.
