Greenland Dust Delivers Nutrients to Ice-Melting Algae - Eos Researchers scrutinized aerosols above and within the ice sheet, finding phosphorus and other mineral particles.

Aerosols carry significant amounts of phosphorus that can fuel massive algal blooms on the Greenland Ice Sheet, according to new research, underscoring the importance of tracking dust emissions to understand how the ice sheet will change in the future. 🧪🧊 eos.org/articles/gre...

Drought Drove the Amazon’s 2023 Switch to a Carbon Source - Eos The change was caused by thirsty vegetation taking up less carbon than normal, not by the year’s extended fire season, new research shows.

It was thirsty plants taking up less carbon—rather than fires—that caused the Amazon’s 2023 switch to a carbon source, new research finds.

With the Ocean Included, the Social Cost of Carbon Doubles - Eos A new calculation includes ocean ecosystems when assessing the monetary impact of climate change.

When researchers considered climate change’s impacts on the ocean, calculations of the cost of climate change nearly doubled.

California vents: Together with @mbarinews.bsky.social and other partners, we set sail on Monday to investigate barium-rich water seeps on the ocean floor. The dives of the ROV MARUM QUEST-5000 can be followed live.

A Mid-Ocean Ridge in the Norwegian Sea Pumps Out Hydrogen - Eos Vent fluids collected from the Knipovich Ridge contain unexpectedly high concentrations of hydrogen, potentially produced by the degradation of organic matter.

Hydrothermal hydrogen! An ROV dive revealed high levels of molecular hydrogen from vent fluids ejected from a bubbly ridge in the Norwegian Sea.
