Marine plastic pollution is a global crisis, with 9 to 14 million metric tons of plastic entering the ocean every year. Tiny ...

Between 252 and 66 million years ago, the ocean underwent a revolution. That's when plankton with calcium carbonate skeletons ...

An international team of scientists has moved beyond just 'scratching the surface,' to understand how microplastics move through and impact the global ocean. For the first time, scientists have mapped ...

Scientists map microplastics across ocean depths, revealing their deep spread, persistence, and potential climate impact.
