65,000 liters of bright red tracer-tagged chemical entering the ocean sounds less like climate research than a cleanup ...

For a world covered in oceans, getting a drink of water on Planet Earth can be surprisingly tricky. Fresh water is hard to come by even on our water world, so much so that most sources are better ...

Now that we have the experiment started, as Hannah discusses in her most recent post, we’re done sorting amphipods and have moved onto doing seawater chemistry. Every morning we test six water samples ...

The ocean naturally absorbs a quarter to a third of man-made CO 2 emissions, but this process also leads to the acidification of seawater. By increasing the alkalinity of seawater through the addition ...

The breakthrough actually came about by chance, with a research team from the US and Canada originally studying the way arsenic leaches from a mineral called pyrite. These are also described as ...

New research links chemical changes in seawater to volcanic activity and changes. Sea salt hides a secret: tiny droplets of the seawater from which it came, preserving geologic history. Using ...
