A new 3D simulation tool developed by ETH and SLF researchers now allows for significantly more accurate predictions of ...

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.

Nitrogen fixation on marine particles is important in the global ocean Date: February 21, 2025 Source: University of Copenhagen - Faculty of Science Summary: Nitrogen is essential for all life on ...

Already in the 1980s it was suggested that aggregates, so-called “marine snow particles”, could possibly be suitable sites for N 2 fixation, and this was recently confirmed.

Factory pollution is changing the weather—but not in the way you might think. The tiny aerosol pollution particles poured out by industrial factories can trigger ice to form in the atmosphere ...

Tiny particles known as "marine snow" drift to the bottom of the ocean, playing an integral role in slowing the pace of climate change.

A version of this article appears in print on , Section D, Page 2 of the New York edition with the headline: Marine Snow: Particles’ Parachutes Made of Mucus Change How Scientists See the Ocean.

Newly discovered microscopic mucus tails – trailing from particles of marine snow particles – slow these particles’ descent into the deep ocean, research finds. This doubles the particles ...

With support from active NASA and NSF awards, my research team is utilizing high resolution multi-spectral data collected by UAVs and commercial SmallSats, like SkySat, which has 0.5 m ground ...
