Marine life is controlled by multiple physical and chemical drivers and by diverse ecological
processes. Many of these oceanic properties are being altered by climate change and other …

Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

Coccolithophores are major contributors to phytoplankton communities and ocean
biogeochemistry and are strong modulators of the optical field in the sea. New discoveries …

Humankind will need to remove hundreds of gigatons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the
atmosphere by the end of the 21st century to keep global warming below 2° C within the …

Predictions of how marine calcifying organisms will respond to climate change rely heavily
on the fossil record of nannoplankton. Declines in calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and …

Coccolithophores are the most abundant calcifying phytoplankton in the ocean. These tiny
primary producers have an important role in the global carbon cycle, substantially …

Ocean acidification is a global phenomenon, but it is overlaid by pronounced regional
variability modulated by local physics, chemistry and biology. Recognition of its multifaceted …

Coccolithophore species composition was determined in 199 samples collected from the
upper 300 m of the Atlantic Ocean, spanning temperate, tropical and subtropical waters in …

Gravitational sinking of photosynthetically fixed particulate organic carbon (POC) constitutes
a key component of the biological carbon pump. The fraction of POC leaving the surface …

The oceans absorb~ 25% of the annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions. This causes a shift
in the marine carbonate chemistry termed ocean acidification (OA). OA is expected to …
