Sinking Fish May Fast-Track Mercury Pollution to the Deep Sea
Isotopic analysis indicates that mercury found in deep-sea organisms may have an origin in carrion from near the surface.
Tracking How Plastic Moves in the Coastal Ocean
Researchers used a wave tank to study the movement of plastic particles experimentally and to understand the role of particle density in drift behavior.
Wildfires May Exacerbate Asthma in the Western United States
A new study predicts that by the 2050s, wildfire smoke will cause the region to spend $850 million more every year to treat asthma.
Corn Syrup Reveals How Bubbles Affect Lava’s Flow
New research shows that huge bubbles can change the viscosity of lava and drastically affect how it moves across the landscape.
