Microorganisms are the engines that drive most marine processes. Ocean modelling must evolve to take their biological complexity into account. Marine microorganisms are crucial for ocean health.

The study of marine icing and sea spray dynamics addresses the complex physical processes that lead to ice accretion on marine vessels and offshore structures. Ice formation occurs when sea spray, ...

Biological processes in seawater are dependent on the supply of a number of chemical elements that serve as nutrients and affected by others that may act as toxicants. Besides the major algal ...

Marine snow—a mixture of dead plankton, waste, mucus, and other organic material slowly sinking from the ocean’s surface—is an important, but poorly understood, part of the ocean carbon cycle. Credit: ...

As the world warms, sweeping changes in marine nutrients seem like an expected consequence of increased ocean temperatures. However, the reality is more complicated. New research suggests that ...

Limited understanding of basic ocean processes is hindering progress in marine carbon dioxide removal, with the on-going commercialisation of some approaches “premature and misguided”. In a new paper, ...

Learn how bacteria inside marine snow may dissolve shell minerals and influence how the ocean stores carbon.

Limited understanding of basic ocean processes is hindering progress in marine carbon dioxide removal, with the on-going commercialization of some approaches 'premature and misguided'. Scientists now ...
