New Algae Species Helps Coral Stand the Heat
2015-03-01 10:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: It's no secret that the world's coral reefs are rapidly declining, taking the one-two punch that is warming temperatures and mounting ocean acidification. However, there is hope, and it's coming straight from an unknown member of the natural world. Researchers have just discovered a new species of algae, and it's one that seems to be able to help corals survive otherwise deadly temperatures. That's at least according to a study recently published in the journal Scientific Reports, which details...

Ocean acidification slows algae growth in the Southern Ocean
2015-02-24 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Bremerhaven, 24 February 2015. In a recent study, scientists at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), demonstrate for the first time that ocean acidification could have negative impacts on diatoms in the Southern Ocean. In laboratory tests they were able to observe that under changing light conditions, diatoms grow more slowly in acidic water. In so doing, Dr Clara Hoppe and her team have overturned the widely held assumption that sinking …

Underwater Drones Map Algae Beneath Antarctic Ice
2015-01-19 21:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Live Science: Although the surface of Antarctica is almost completely white, a field of green and brown algae clings to the underside of the sea ice around the frozen continent. Previously, this underwater forest of algae was accessible only to marine creatures or specially trained divers. But now, researchers are using pioneering drones to scout out and map the miles of algae mats. The Antarctic algae begin growing in early spring and rely on the small amount of sunlight that penetrates the ice to survive....

Toxic Algae on Ohio Lawmakers' Agenda
2015-01-16 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Columbus Dispatch: After stalling last year, both the Ohio House and Senate appear ready to move on efforts to deal with the Lake Erie toxic-algae problem that last summer choked off Toledos water supply. I call this our no excuses issue, said Sen. Randy Gardner, R-Bowling Green, who is one of three GOP senators focusing on the matter. Weve got agreement on quite a bit of the algae-related issues. Theres no excuse for us to not complete work on this in a timely manner. The House in November passed a...
