In a new study, RU scientists looked at chemical signatures of planktonic foraminifera. Specifically, the team looked at the iodine and calcium. These signatures are used to detect low oxygen…
Ocean acidification, caused by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide has been suggested to potentially have negative consequences for organisms that have calcium carbonate shells, such as shellfish. A recent study published…
The Southern Ocean plays a key role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but we are still trying to understand exactly how much carbon dioxide the Southern Ocean absorbs…

More than 265 students from across the U.S. dove into the mysteries of the ocean and explored how STEM can address global environmental challenges during a virtual event hosted by…
Fiorella Prada and collaborators just published an extensive proteomic analysis of foraminiferal tests. There exciting results suggests that biomineralization in these organisms involves both vesicular pathways and transmembrane transporters, opening…
