Pairing old and new technologies could unlock advances in plankton science. New study, that included Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), scientists, highlights the benefits of existing long-term monitoring programmes and emerging technologies […]
Advances in plankton science. Advances in technology — such as microscopic imaging and molecular techniques — have the potential to transform our understanding of global ocean health, according to the […]
Plymouth scientists play key role in global Plankton Manifesto. David Johns, Head of the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey operated by the Marine Biological Association (MBA) has played an integral […]
Tiny plankton – measuring less than 20µm (or 0.02mm) in diameter – make up the majority of plankton in the ocean and play a critical role in the planet’s health, […]
New partnership will provide solutions for plankton recording data. The Marine Biological Association (MBA) is excited to announce the start of a new project which will help meet the operational […]
Changes in plankton abundance could alter biological carbon pump Significant changes in plankton abundance and seasonality due to global climate change could alter the biological carbon pump in the ocean, […]
New understanding of plankton regime shifts in the North Sea. Scientists have explained that different methods of plankton analysis could give us a greater understanding of plankton regime shifts, and […]
More plankton research crucial to determine climate change impacts. Scientists from the Marine Biological Association (MBA) and over 20 universities and research institutions across the world say more work needs to be done to […]
Jelly plankton blooms can offset as much CO2 as emitted by millions of cars. Humans continue to amplify global warming by emitting billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere […]
Climate change causing planktonic change in N. Atlantic. Scientists have discovered that the heating up of the North Atlantic is causing plankton to shift and change in abundance, indicating a […]
Plankton-eating fish drive fishing ‘sweet spots’. A new study has found ocean plankton and their predators are responsible for sparking ‘sweet spots’ of abundant fish in tropical coral reefs. These areas will […]
