How ancient plankton point to the resilience of ocean ecosystems The researchers used a cutting-edge approach to predict future ocean conditions by examining the distant past through analyses of microscopic fossils.

🌊In a new study co-led by USF professor @oceanandclimate.bsky.social Patrick Rafter, researchers used forams from the Pliocene to show that warming in the tropical Pacific may not trigger the severe decline in nutrients predicted by earlier models.

Unexpected decline in the ocean carbon sink under record-high sea surface temperatures in 2023 - Nature Climate Change The ocean carbon sink strengthened in previous warm El NiΓ±o years due to reduced CO2 outgassing in the tropics. Here the authors show that the ocean carbon sink declined in 2023 despite record-high se...

🌊 In 2023, the ocean carbon sink weakened for the first time in a record-hot year 🌑️🌎
Our new study in Nature Climate Change quantifies this unexpected decline and explains how it came about. πŸ‘‡
