Hidden bacteria in marine snow may be dissolving ocean shells — and disrupting carbon storage
Learn how bacteria inside marine snow may dissolve shell minerals and influence how the ocean stores carbon.
When marine organisms die and sink, billions of tons of organic and inorganic carbon are carried downward each year. The ...
In some parts of the deep ocean, it can look like it's snowing. This "marine snow" is the dust and detritus that organisms ...
High pressure in the deep ocean may squeeze nutrients from sinking “marine snow,” feeding deep-sea microbes and altering how ...
Bacteria hitchhiking on marine snow can dissolve its calcium carbonate ballast, slowing the particles’ descent.
Snowflake size affects how much snow stays on roofs, helping explain why some storms create heavier and more dangerous snow ...
No two snowflakes may be the same, but models that fail to take these variations into consideration often fall short when ...
In Physics of Fluids, researchers model the way snow gathers on a roof based on snowflake size and distribution. The model considers how turbulence can affect recently landed snow and how wind can ...
