New Approach Provides Early Warning of Potential Overfishing Threats

A new UC Santa Barbara study shows that threats created by overfishing can be identified decades before the fish species at risk experience high overly harvest rates and subsequent population declines.

NSF Center to Study Effect of Atmospheric Particles on the Environment and Climate

Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla will today announce a five-year, $20 million award from the National Science Foundation to support an innovative program of research and education on how interactions between air and sea alter the chemistry of the atmosphere to influence climate.

NPL Researchers Enhance Ocean Color Measurement Techniques Required for Ocean Health Monitoring

The Centre for Carbon Measurement at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is working to improve ocean colour measurements vital for modelling climate and monitoring the health of the oceans. Colour differences (change in spectral reflectance of sunlight) in the oceans can provide a measure of phytoplankton and algae blooms - important as their chlorophyll serves as a natural sink of CO2 and also sometimes pollution.

UEA Researchers Report Upset in Natural Chemical Cycles Due to Rising Ocean Temperatures

New research from the University of East Anglia shows that rising ocean temperatures will upset natural cycles of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and phosphorous.

Fossil Fuel Emissions May Cause Coral Reef Ecosystems to Shift to the Sub-Tropics

The best real estate for coral reefs over the coming decades will no longer be around the equator but in the sub-tropics, new research from the University of Bristol suggests.

Catlin Seaview Survey to Focus on Coral Reefs in the Caribbean and Bermuda

Following our 2012 expedition of the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea, we are excited to announce the focus of our second major regional expedition, the Caribbean and Bermuda.

Temperature Rise Leads to Significant Carbon Dioxide Generation by Tropical Ecosystems

NASA scientists and an international team of researchers have found tropical ecosystems can generate significant carbon dioxide when temperatures rise, unlike ecosystems in other parts of the world.

Rising Temperatures Lead to Increase in Release of Carbon Dioxide from Tropical Forest Ecosystems

The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that a temperature anomaly of just 1ºC (in near surface air temperatures in the tropics) leads to a 3.5-Petagram (billion tonnes of carbon) anomaly in the annual CO2 growth rate, on average. This is the equivalent of 1/3 of the annual global emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation together.
