Plastic pollution is flooding the world's rivers and seas – but one Dutch company says a curtain of air bubbles can stop it.

The ocean absorbs carbon from the atmosphere, but exactly how much is uncertain. For instance, estimates from the 2023 Global Carbon Budget ranged from 2.2 billion to 4 billion metric tons of carbon ...

A new study provides evidence that the ocean may have absorbed as much as 15% (0.3–0.4 Pg C yr-1) more CO 2 than previously thought, requiring a re-think of future CO 2 flux assessments and global ...

In strong winds and rough seas, gas exchange between the air and the sea is asymmetrical: air bubbles are literally pushed into the water by breaking waves. Consequently, more gases, such as carbon ...

Using high-speed photography, researchers at Princeton and Cornell University have demonstrated that the ocean can transport microplastics into the atmosphere, adding to evidence that the sea may not ...

New research has uncovered a possible clue as to why glaciers that terminate at the sea are retreating at unprecedented rates: the bursting of tiny, pressurized bubbles in underwater ice. Oregon State ...
