New research shows that marine heat waves can reshape ocean food webs, which in turn can slow the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hamper the ocean's ability to buffer against climate change.

The hunt is on and a predator finally zeroes in on its prey. The animal consumes the nutritious meal and moves on to forage ...

Microbes near the surface of the Southern Ocean sustain the polar food chain — impacting the nutrient flow from the surface ...

Marine heatwaves can have a hidden impact on microscopic organisms in the ocean, a new study reveals. The research, published in Nature Communications, demonstrates how excessive temperatures can ...

Robotic floats can continuously collect detailed data about ocean conditions. A new study led by MBARI researchers from the Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array project—with an interdisciplinary team of ...

The cloudy, sediment-laden meltwater from glaciers is a key source of nutrients for ocean life, but a new study suggests that ...

Marine heatwaves can jam the ocean’s natural carbon conveyor belt, preventing carbon from reaching the deep sea. Researchers studying two major heatwaves in the Gulf of Alaska found that plankton ...

New research shows that marine heat waves can reshape ocean food webs, which in turn can slow the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hamper the ocean's ability to buffer against climate change.

As glaciers retreat, their meltwater carries fewer nutrients that ocean life needs. This change could weaken marine ...
