Method relies on dominance of Pacific Ocean as a global climate force

Single-celled phytoplankton play a vital role in marine biogeochemical cycling, in marine food webs, and in the global climate system

The National Science Foundation awarded $11.8 million to Rutgers to launch and operate the Ocean Observatories Initiative’s data system.

The finding that objects can move around the globe in just ten years suggests that ocean biodiversity may be more resilient to climate change than previously thought

Marine life cultivates half of the summer cloud droplets over the Southern Ocean.

Sea spray aerosols (SSAs) are created with every breaking wave

Ocean researchers like to say we know less about the Earth’s seas than the moon. With less than 5 percent of the world’s oceans explored, big discoveries await. To find them, University of Rhode Island students are learning to build the next generation of autonomous underwater vehicles, or AUVs, used to map seafloors, study ocean movement, locate sunken objects, research sea life and more.

Alcohol consumption isn’t the only thing a breath analysis can reveal. Scientists have been studying its possible use for diagnosing a wide range of conditions in humans — and now in the beloved bottlenose dolphin. In a report in the American Chemical Society (ACS) journal Analytical Chemistry, one team describes a new instrument that can analyze the metabolites in breath from dolphins, which have been dying in alarming numbers along the Atlantic coast this year.
