Ocean stratification — density-related layering of seawater — influences oceanographic and climatic processes. This Review outlines observed and projected changes in stratification, noting a 0.8% dec−1 increase in 0–2,000 m stratification from 1960–2024, and a further 1.4% dec−1 increase by 2100 under SSP2-4.5.

The ocean carbon sink strengthened in previous warm El Niño years due to reduced CO2 outgassing in the tropics. Here the authors show that the ocean carbon sink declined in 2023 despite record-high se...

Diatoms exert reciprocal, fine-scale control of P acquisition by N availability, depending on the immediate needs of the cell.

Nature - Abrupt changes are developing across Antarctica’s ice, ocean and biological systems; some of these changes are intensifying faster than equivalent Arctic changes, potentially...

Phytoplankton are tiny, single-celled organisms mainly found in the ocean’s sunlit surface, where they grow through photosynthesis, forming the marine food web’s base and regulating Earth’s climate by...

Industrial activities have increased the supply of iron to the ocean, but the magnitude of anthropogenic input and its ecological consequences are ...

Abstract. Phytoplankton bloom phenology is an important indicator for the monitoring and management of marine resources and the assessment of climate change impacts on ocean ecosystems. Despite its re...

Nature - Global data collected between 2014 and 2024 provide insights into the distribution and potential transport mechanisms of subsurface microplastics throughout the oceanic water column.

PhD Project - Is ocean circulation the ultimate driver of biological carbon storage in the ocean? at University of Liverpool, listed on FindAPhD.com

New research led by the CSIR has uncovered a troubling global trend – a significant decline in ocean productivity over the past 26 years, with consequences for marine biodiversity, fisheries, and the ...

Differences in seawater colour could reveal how tiny Antarctic creatures are faring in a warming world.

The SOI Foundation inspires and empowers leadership for a sustainable future by connecting youth to nature, and to the knowledge, people, and resources to make a difference.

Abstract. Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for most eukaryotic phytoplankton. Zn uptake by phytoplankton within the euphotic zone results in nutrient-like dissolved Zn (dZn) profiles with a lar...

Using your results, you will be able to test assumptions and make predictions about iron-mediated impacts of climate change on the biological carbon pump.

In sensibly scaling back its environmental targets, the oil major offers a salutary example to politicians of the need to balance climate-friendly policies against short-term costs
