Driven by Climate Change, Algae Blooms Behind Ohio Water Scare New Normal

2014-08-04 14:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

National Geographic: The toxic algae bloom in Lake Erie that provoked last weekend's tap water ban in Toledo, Ohio-where nearly half a million people were told not to use water for drinking, cooking, or bathing-is a preview of similar problems to come around the world, scientists say, thanks in part to climate change. Northwest Ohio's water ban was lifted Monday morning, but experts say harmful algal blooms that can turn tap water toxic and kill wildlife are becoming more common in coastal oceans and in freshwater...

Glacial melt pours iron into ocean, seeding algal blooms

2014-05-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Scientific American: A decade ago, a common hypothesis was that rivers and dust supplied the ocean with most of its iron. Since then, scientists have reported in several papers that icebergs and deep-sea hydrothermal vents also may be significant contributors. Scientists report in a new study this week that glacial melt may be funneling significant amounts of reactive iron into the ocean, where it may counter some of the negative effects of climate change by boosting algal blooms that capture carbon. The paper, published...

Researchers may be able to predict deadly jellyfish blooms

2014-05-14 16:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

LiveScience: The key to predicting the presence of tiny, venomous and nearly invisible jellyfish may be blowing in the wind, new research finds. The discovery, linking the appearance of teeny-tiny jellies off the coast of Australia with wind patterns, could lead to a way to prevent stings, researchers reported May 13 in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. Closing beaches 31 percent of the time, when winds are inauspicious, could reduce the number of stings by more than 61 percent, they wrote. The...
