Measuring Dissolved Oxygen (DO)

What is dissolved oxygen (DO)? Why is this parameter so relevant, e.g., for water analysis, and which technologies are used to determine it? In a free White Paper, Dr. Sabrina Gschwind, product manager sensors and electrodes at Metrohm AG takes a comprehensive look at dissolved oxygen and compares the advantages and disadvantages of the methods commonly used to determine this parameter.

Study Provides Vital Insight Into How the Ocean Responds to Climate Change

We're familiar with how climate change is impacting the ocean's biology, from bleaching events that cause coral die-offs to algae blooms that choke coastal marine ecosystems, but it's becoming clear that a warming planet is also impacting the physics of ocean circulation.

Ocean's "Biological Carbon Pump" Found to be More Efficient Than Previously Estimated

Every spring in the Northern Hemisphere, the ocean surface erupts in a massive bloom of phytoplankton. Like plants, these single-celled floating organisms use photosynthesis to turn light into energy, consuming carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen in the process.
