Snowflake size affects how much snow stays on roofs, helping explain why some storms create heavier and more dangerous snow ...
When marine organisms die and sink, billions of tons of organic and inorganic carbon are carried downward each year. The ...
Bacteria riding on sinking ocean particles can erode the mineral ballast that helps those particles descend, slowing the ...
Bacteria hitchhiking on marine snow can dissolve its calcium carbonate ballast, slowing the particles’ descent.
In some parts of the deep ocean, it can look like it's snowing. This "marine snow" is the dust and detritus that organisms slough off as they die and decompose. Marine snow can fall several kilometers ...
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 ...
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 ...
