South Asia’s monsoon rains will intensify due to increase in CO2: Study

This is in line with climate model predictions that rising CO2 and higher global temperatures will lead to stronger monsoon seasons

Papers explore massive plankton blooms with very different ecosystem impacts

(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) Two new papers explore this question and provide examples of conditions that lead to massive plankton blooms with vastly different potential impacts on the ecosystem, according to McGillicuddy, co-author of both papers. Both papers also point to the importance of using advanced technology–including Video Plankton Recorders, autonomous underwater vehicles, and the Ocean Observatories Initiative’s Coastal Pioneer Array–to find and monitor these blooms.
