Decades of data on world’s oceans reveal a troubling oxygen decline
Date: May 4, 2017 Source: Georgia Institute of Technology Summary: The amount of dissolved oxygen contained in the water — an important measure of ocean health — has been declining for more than 20 years, reveals a new analysis of decades of data on oceans across the globe. Global map
Effects of current and future coastal upwelling conditions on the fertilization success of the red abalone (Haliotis rufescens)
May 20, 2017 Acidification, deoxygenation, and warming are escalating changes in coastal waters throughout the world ocean, with potentially severe consequences for marine life and ocean-based economies. To examine the influence of these oceanographic changes on a key biological process, we measured the effects of current and expected future
