Subsurface phytoplankton biomass is rising in warming oceans, while surface phytoplankton remains unchanged but less green, ...

An "invisible forest" of phytoplankton is thriving in part of our warming ocean, new research shows. Phytoplankton are tiny drifting organisms that do about half of the planet's primary production ...

Benjamin Van Mooy is a WHOI oceanographer investigating how microbial organisms shape life on Earth. What award did he ...

Dust from southern Africa crossed the Indian Ocean in 2019, triggering an unexpected phytoplankton bloom near Madagascar.

Over time, atmospheric chemical reactions can make iron in dust from the Sahara easier for organisms to take in, helping to create biodiversity hot spots.

Phytoplankton trap heat in the upper level of seawater, the researchers found. However, this heat dissipates back into the atmosphere over the course of the summer.

The iron contained in the dust is a critical nutrient for phytoplankton in the oceans, but according to a new paper in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, Saharan dust that is blown further ...

Karachi's coastal areas are grappling with a strong, unpleasant odor following the recent monsoon rains and tidal surges.
