Microscopic ocean algae produce a huge share of Earth’s oxygen—but they need iron to do it. New field research shows that when iron is scarce, phytoplankton waste energy and photosynthesis falters.
The effects of the steadily increasing amount of plastic in the ocean are complex and not yet fully understood. Scientists at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel have now shown for the ...

World-first deep-sea landers probe mystery of ‘dark oxygen’ forming without sunlight
Researchers have unveiled two world-first deep-ocean landers designed to probe the origins of dark ...
New research reveals how ocean viruses burst algae cells, fueling a subsurface oxygen band through rapid microbial recycling.
There is more going on in the deep, dark ocean waters than you may think: Uncountable numbers of invisible microorganisms go about their daily lives in the water columns, and now researchers have ...
Deep-sea researchers have launched a groundbreaking project to investigate "dark oxygen"—a form of oxygen produced in total ...
A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience found evidence of oxygen production near polymetallic nodules located deep in the ocean. Called dark oxygen, this oxygen is being produced ...
New research shows ancient tropical oceans once held more oxygen than cooler regions, reshaping where early life could survive and evolve.
The effects of the steadily increasing amount of plastic in the ocean are complex and not yet fully understood. Scientists have now shown for the first time that the uptake of microplastics by ...
