Plankton’s Ability To Sequester Carbon Is Influenced by Ocean Density, Study Shows
A study published in Royal Society Open Science explores how changes in ocean density influence marine plankton, particularly the foraminifera species Trilobatus trilobus, in incorporating carbon into their shells. These organisms play a key role in the carbon cycle by sequestering carbon in the ocean floor after death. The study, led by Dr Stergio...

Ocean Plankton Survived Ice Age But May Not Cope With Climate Change Now
In our new research, published today in Nature, we explored the ability of tiny marine organisms called plankton to adapt to global warming.

Mr Plankton Review: The K-Drama Is A Mixed Bag Which Is More Frustrating Than Fulfilling
Mr Plankton Review - The K-drama has the potential to be tighter but the pacing suffers from unnecessary delays and moments of repetitiveness that only serve to dilute the stakes.

Watch: California Coast Illuminated By Glowing Blue Waves
The science behind these luminous waves traces back to microscopic plankton called dinoflagellates, single-celled organisms that emit light when agitated.

New Study Reveals How Marine Viruses May Aid in Mitigation of Climate Change
A new study suggests how 5,500 marine RNA virus species may help push carbon absorbed from the atmosphere to permanent storage on the ocean floor. The effort aims to learn more about the organisms that live in the ocean and do the majority of the work of absorbing half of the human-generated carbon in the atmosphere and producing half of the oxygen...
