NewsAccelerated marine carbon cycling forced by tectonic degassing over the Miocene Climate Optimum
Massive carbon inputs from volcanism and seafloor spreading have impacted the orbital phase relationships between carbon cycle and climate change, a new study finds.

NewsScientists reveal ‘burrowing effect’ of foraminifera on marine environments
Scientists have shown for the first time that the burrowing of single-celled organisms in marine ecosystems affects oxygen distribution and bacterial diversity in sea sediments.

NewsEvidence of climate change in the North Atlantic can be seen in the deep ocean
Evidence of climate change in the North Atlantic during the last 1,000 years can be seen in the deep ocean, according to a newly published paper.

NewsShell-building strategies could be key in climate models
A scientist investigating how single-celled organisms discovered how to build a ‘shell’ around their single cell says it could help predict how the calcium balance in the oceans will change under the influence of the changing climate.
