Scientists Link Phosphorus Spikes in Ancient Oceans to Major Mass Extinctions

The complex sugars in brown algae, such as these pictured during fieldwork in Roscoff by co-author Nicole von Possel, are among the hardest to break down by bacteria in the ocean, which makes them important for carbon storage. Marine relatives of the gut bacterium Akkermansia turn out to be specialists in tackling them.

Robotic platforms like MBARI’s long-range autonomous underwater vehicles (LRAUVs) are transforming ocean exploration and science, bringing novel scientific instruments to remote areas to study marine life and processes.

MBARI Technology Helps Reveal Rhythms of Microbial Activity in Open Ocean Eddies

Southern Resident killer whales share busy waterways with cargo ships, passenger ferries, and a host of other vessels in British Columbia's Salish Sea. HALLO is an AI-based system that will predict when whales are moving into shipping lanes, so vessel pilots can implement dynamic slowdowns to reduce noise pollution.
