Protecting our coastline: Researchers develop new model to better predict barrier island retreat

Storms, storm surge, waves, and flooding are all mitigated by barrier islands. They can act as a barrier between the ocean and property on the beach. Barrier islands retreat or move closer to the shore as sea levels rise, reducing the buffer and protection....

Scientists found how contagious cancer spread among clams

Pollution has negative effects on sea anemone

The sea anemone Nematostella burrows into salt marsh sediments and stays there for life. It has also specialized 'stinging cells' which hurl toxins into passing prey. This immobilized the morsel so the anemone can snatch it with its tentacles. Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) researchers...

‘Ocean battery’ targets renewable energy quandary

A wind turbine sitting idle on a calm day and spinning swiftly when power demand has a problem for renewables. Scientists think this problem can be sorted under the sea. Offshore wind farms can use seawater to essentially store energy. This helps us in fossil...

Anthropogenic aerosols have a significant role on surface temperature

The warming effect of anthropogenic aerosol reduction will superimpose on the cooling effect caused by the reduction of CO2. A new study has found this. This will lead to a great surface temperature increase. Temperature reduction and cooling rate will be delayed because of...
