Oceanographer David Karl and colleagues publish research about how microalgae flourish in open ocean areas where the nitrate they feed on is scarce.

A team of researchers at UH Mānoa’s School of Ocean and Earth Science Technology have produced a computer simulation of how far the oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig could travel.

Mānoa Professor Craig Smith and postdoctoral student Laura Grange are part of an international team conducting research on climate change in Antarctica.

Increased carbon dioxide absorption by the oceans makes seawater more transparent to low-frequency sounds existing in nature and created by humans.

Sediment samples suggest carbon dioxide alone can’t explain the marked increase in global surface temperatures 55 million years ago.

Whale carcasses create a rich life-supporting deep-sea ecosystem similar to the chemosynthetic habitats found at undersea cold seeps and hydrothermal vents.
