Each year, vast blooms of phytoplankton spread across the Southern Ocean, drawing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and ...

NASA satellites captured huge green-blue ocean rings near New Zealand’s Chatham Islands which was caused by seasonal phytoplankton blooms. This attracts wildlife and reveal the ocean’s hidden ...

A striking phytoplankton bloom has encircled the Chatham Islands creating vivid green and blue swirls visible from space. The ...

Large phytoplankton blooms north of the Hawaiian Islands have been seen in satellite imagery as vast swirls of color nearly every summer, but their origin and ecosystem dynamics have remained ...

Researchers have consistently tracked a recurring bloom near Antarctica that reliably appears each summer, yet varies ...

Climate change is already fueling dangerous heat waves, raising sea levels and transforming the oceans. Even if countries ...

Each summer, the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica turns a brighter shade of green. Vast blooms of phytoplankton ...

Photo Ash erupts high into the atmosphere from Kilauea in 2018. A new study found the eruption sparked a massive phytoplankton bloom that sequestered much of the carbon released during the eruption.

When an underwater earthquake rattles deep below Antarctica’s icy waters, the motion may set off a chain reaction that causes tiny organisms called phytoplankton to rapidly multiply at the ocean ...

How can earthquakes contribute to ocean life? This is what a recent study published in Nature Geoscience hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated a connection between seismic activity and ...

The research team recovers a sediment trap from the back deck of the ship to capture sinking particles. Large phytoplankton blooms north of the Hawaiian Islands have been seen in satellite imagery as ...
