The first ever large-scale map of microscopic algae on the surface of snow along the Antarctic Peninsula coast has been published. Results indicate that this so-called green snow is likely to spread as global...
A world-first system can help better predict the future warming of the world’s lakes due to climate change. It highlights the potential threat to cold-water fish species such as salmon and trout. Pioneering research...
Multiple bleaching events driven by above-average sea temperatures have led to the largest known mass mortality of coral reefs on the U.S. territory in the last five centuries, says a new study. Rising ocean...
Photo.Synth.Etica has developed an algae-powered building cladding system that captures and stores carbon dioxide molecules and air pollutants. In another project, it extends the benefits of algae to keeping buildings cool. Photo.Synth.Etica, a collaborative...
Seagrass beds are so effective at protecting tropical beaches from erosion that they can reduce the need for the expensive beach nourishments that are currently used regularly, says a new study of the Caribbean...
High carbon dioxide conditions can disrupt the pelagic food web, as discovered by an international group of scientists during a long-term experiment off the Canary Islands. If carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere and thereby in...
New research has found dramatic ecosystem shifts in the Arctic due to climate change. The high Arctic is warming faster than any other region on earth. There are explicit links between climate change and...
Plants and algae use the enzyme Rubisco to fix carbon dioxide, removing it from the atmosphere and converting it into biomass. Algae have figured out a way to increase the efficiency of carbon fixation....
Around 60 per cent of all coral colonies in the Maldives are affected by climate change-related bleaching, a new survey has revealed. In some places, up to 90 per cent of the reefs are...
Japanese inventors want to alleviate the problem of marine waste with an ecological, degradable packaging. Made out of marine algae, their product has already received a prestigious design award. The designers are now in...
