North Sea Plankton Bloom Seen from Space
2014-05-31 15:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Ghostly and blue-green, a phytoplankton bloom meanders across the North Sea in new satellite imagery. The satellite image was taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite. Terra is part of a team; along with another NASA satellite, Aqua, it images the entire surface of the Earth every day or two. The picture of the phytoplankton bloom was taken on May 30. Phytoplankton are microscopic plantlike organisms that drift in the oceans. Blooms occur when...
Coral reefs better coping rising sea temperatures than thought
2014-05-30 09:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Coral reefs are under threat from rising sea temperatures caused by global warming. But in a recent paper, published in Science, it was found that certain types of coral are able to adapt to tolerate higher sea temperatures by changing the genes they express. Scientists think this new discovery could be used to devise new ways of protecting coral reefs, as well as improving our predictions of how they will cope with climate change in the future. Marine rainforests Known as the "rainforests...

Big Waves Bust Up Sea Ice, May Be Playing Role in Melt
2014-05-28 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Big ocean waves whipped up by storms hundreds or even thousands of miles away from Earth's poles could play a bigger role in breaking up polar sea ice and thus contributing to its melt more than had been thought, a new study suggests. The study, detailed in the May 29 issue of the journal Nature, found that these waves penetrate further into the fields of sea ice around Antarctica than current models would suggest, breaking up the ice well away from the edge of the ice. And previous studies have...
