The study looked at data from satellites and ocean sensors off Miami that have tracked what's known as the Atlantic overturning circulation for more than a decade
Inexpensive, nontoxic catalyst could help reduce global reliance on fossil fuels
"We have toxic algae events that result in shellfish closures off the Washington and Oregon coast every three to five years or so, but none of them have been as large as this one," says researcher
This latest study from Professor Liddle’s research group looked at how ‘soft’ elements such as phosphorus can interact with thorium in unusual bonding environments
The substances stick around in the environment for a long time, which makes them likely to be inhaled or ingested by people and animals
Recognizing that a plethora of scientific insights could be gleaned from this information, over 450 sites worldwide are sharing their observation data with the FLUXNET database
The major influences on ocean chemistry today are hydrothermal flow (hot water that has circulated through the crust) and surface weathering (the river transport of material eroded from land into the ocean)
This method allows the detection of almost all metals, organic materials, and various pharmacological agents in water
Scientists say ocean fossils found in mountains are cause for concern over future sea levels
A study that describes the Earth’s activity below the Greenland Ice Sheet is a valuable contribution to climate science, one expert says
