Analyzing sea water is never an easy task. With high total dissolved solids (TDS), seawater is considered one of the most difficult matrices to analyze for the presence of heavy metals and other trace ...

The oceans are full of living things, with microscopic algae (phytoplankton) at the base of the marine food chain. These organisms make a living in the same way as land plants, using the sunlight that ...

A research group has succeeded in selectively recovering trace rare earth elements in synthetic seawater and environmental water, such as hot spring water, using baker's yeast with a phosphate group ...

New research links chemical changes in seawater to volcanic activity and changes. Sea salt hides a secret: tiny droplets of the seawater from which it came, preserving geologic history. Using ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

The ocean is warming, becoming more acidic, and losing oxygen – these are well-known effects of climate change. What has been less studied is how these changes are affecting contaminants in the seas.
