Seabirds struggled to raise chicks in the Hauraki Gulf this summer. What happened?

The Hauraki Gulf is already experiencing more frequent and longer lasting marine heatwaves. Seabirds now have to travel further to find enough food.

Greenland Seaweed Carbon Storage Pathways Extend Hundreds of Kilometers Offshore | Happy Eco News

Greenland seaweed carbon storage pathways reveal how floating macroalgae travel hundreds of kilometers offshore and sink to deep ocean layers, contributing to natural carbon cycling.

New study assesses geoengineering marine ecosystem risks, knowledge gaps

Science has made it clear: The prospect of heat waves without end, increasingly destructive floods, relentless drought, rapidly rising sea levels, and the risk of “point of no return” tipping points require humanity to swiftly stop burning fossil fuels to avoid catastrophe. But with political will and action lagging, some researchers say now is the […]

Microbes make microplastics more likely to form ice in clouds, research reveals

Tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are showing up everywhere, even in the water in clouds, rain, and snow—and they may be affecting our weather and temperatures. A study published in Environmental Science & Technology and led by Hosein Foroutan, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, found that microbes living on microplastics dramatically boost their ability to trigger ice formation in clouds.

#StateOfTheGlobalClimate report finds Earth’s energy has moved dangerously out of balance
More than 90% of that excess is absorbed by the #oceans, which experienced the highest heat content in history last year. The rate of #ocean warming has more than doubled over the past two decades, compared with the average over the previous 45 years.
