Our oceans hide a growing crisis that’s hard to see. Tiny plastic fragments, smaller than 5mm, have spread across marine ecosystems. This is a huge environmental problem. These small pieces …

Over the past four decades, Arctic summer sea ice coverage has declined unprecedentedly (Stroeve and Notz, 2018), enhancing the commercial viability of Arctic navigation and extending the region's ice

Estuarine environments serve as critical transitional zones where freshwater from rivers mixes with marine saltwater, creating unique ecological and hydrodynamic conditions (Largier, 1993; Levin et al

Marine sediments are Earth’s largest habitats for microbes to flourish and are particularly important sites for biogeochemical cycles, such as the carbon and nitrogen cycles (Beman et al., 2012, Besau

The Lower Mississippi River Comprehensive Management Study (LMRCM) has been paused after receiving no funds in the Corps of Engineers’ FY 2025 work plan. The project team was also notified …

Plastic production has grown dramatically in recent years, emerging as a significant global environmental concern. By 2022, approximately 400.3 million tons (Mt) of plastic were produced (Plastics Eur

Pollutants may enter the ocean in several ways, including river inputs, direct sewage discharge, mariculture pollution, and air-sea exchange. Research conducted over more than 30 years has demonstrate

Globally, nitrogen deposition has increased from 100 Tg N·yr−1 to 210 Tg N·yr−1 over several decades (Galloway et al., 2008; Gao et al., 2020). Furthermore, the active nitrogen level has …

Coral reefs are facing significant global and local stressors, which may compromise physiological functions from the organism to the ecosystem scale (Marques et al., 2019, Marques et al., 2020; Dal …
