Research shows shifting composition threatens marine ecosystems and highlights water quality impacts of global warming.

Visitors to Santa Monica Beach may notice the ocean waves turning pink September 15, 22–24 and 30 near the breakwater and pier because of a temporary, non-toxic dye used to study water quality.

A new study maps the planetary boundary of “functional biosphere integrity” in spatial detail and over centuries. 

The seas have long sustained human life, but a new UC Santa Barbara study shows that rising climate and human pressures are pushing the oceans toward a dangerous threshold.

Seagrass has the potential to be one of the world’s most effective sponges at soaking up and storing carbon, but we don’t yet know how nutrient pollution affects its ability to sequester carbon.

Among the tiniest living things in the ocean are a group of single celled microbes called Prochlorococcus. 

As coral reefs decline at unprecedented rates, new research has revealed that some coral species may be more resilient to warming temperatures than others.

A student from the University of Plymouth is using her dissertation project to reveal some of the fascinating marine life living in the waters of Falmouth Harbour.

The composition of aquatic plant communities in shallow freshwater bodies, including floating plants, submerged plants and phytoplankton, can have important effects on greenhouse gas production, transport and emissions, according to a new study.

Scientists from the University have led calls for new research to enhance habitat protection.
