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

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

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 ...

NASA has taken images of an incredible phytoplankton display around the Chatham Islands where warm and colder water converge ...

A new study by an international team of researchers revealed that a rare and large summertime phytoplankton bloom in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre in the summer of 2018 was prompted by ash from ...

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 ...

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 ...

Single-celled algae in the ocean known as coccolithophores play an important role in the marine carbon cycle when they take up bicarbonate from seawater to build their shells. Coccolithophore numbers ...

The reason behind fish-kill instances in the Chesapeake Bay can be attributed to a strain of dangerous phytoplankton a new study claims. While there is little physical impact to people, the ...

Monthly relative anomalies demonstrate the spatial development of chlorophyll-a concentration, a proxy for phytoplankton biomass, during December 2019. Relative anomalies are expressed as the ...

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 ...
