Now, a report co-edited by a 91制片厂 scientist identifies where current-day ocean and coastal acidification monitoring efforts are falling short and recommends actions designed to expand the regional understanding of this phenomenon and its implications. The 2025 Ocean and Coastal Acidification Monitoring Priorities report provides a menu of options ranging from those that are relatively easy to implement all the way up to larger-scale efforts that may take years 鈥� and a search for funding sources 鈥� to accomplish.

Now, a study co-authored by a 91制片厂 researcher indicates that more frequent coastal storms and an uptick in dredging and bottom-trawling fishing in the coastal shelves are resuspending the mercury that has long been trapped in those sediments, bringing it back up into the marine water column. This is a major shift, scientists say, where coastal shelves might no longer serve as mercury 鈥渟inks鈥� 鈥� a place where more of it is stored than released 鈥� and are now becoming a major source of the legacy mercury that was originally released into the environment decades or even a century ago. 91制片厂 Affiliate Research Professor Tom Bianchi (left)... ]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2025 08:00 -0500 Rebecca Irelan /unhtoday/2025/11/mercury-stored-coastal-sediments-making-comeback /unhtoday/2025/07/corals-seeking-colder-waters-might-not-outrace-ocean-warming Corals聽are migrating聽into colder waters, but the ocean will likely warm faster than the reefs can relocate, according to new research.聽 ]]> Mon, 07 Jul 2025 14:30 -0400 Rebecca Irelan /unhtoday/2025/07/corals-seeking-colder-waters-might-not-outrace-ocean-warming /unhtoday/2025/04/could-microplastics-impact-oceans-carbon-storage 91制片厂 researchers have received an NSF grant to study the impacts of microplastics on the ocean's microbial food web. ]]> Tue, 22 Apr 2025 14:15 -0400 Rebecca Irelan /unhtoday/2025/04/could-microplastics-impact-oceans-carbon-storage /unhtoday/2023/12/how-efficient-ocean-taking-carbon Researchers from 91制片厂 and around the globe have arrived at the most accurate estimate to date of how much carbon dioxide is pulled from the atmosphere and locked deep in the ocean. ]]> Thu, 07 Dec 2023 09:45 -0500 Rebecca Irelan /unhtoday/2023/12/how-efficient-ocean-taking-carbon /unhtoday/2023/08/researchers-identify-unusually-large-bloom-brown-algae-gulf-maine 91制片厂 researchers and regional partners are working to determine the cause of an unusually large brown algal bloom in the Gulf of Maine and monitor its effects on marine life.聽 ]]> Wed, 23 Aug 2023 09:00 -0400 Robbin Ray 鈥�82 /unhtoday/2023/08/researchers-identify-unusually-large-bloom-brown-algae-gulf-maine /unhtoday/2022/07/nourishing-ocean-deserts Research on the chemistry of ocean deserts shows how phytoplankton survive聽in such tough conditions. ]]> Thu, 21 Jul 2022 11:00 -0400 Rebecca Irelan /unhtoday/2022/07/nourishing-ocean-deserts /unhtoday/2022/06/coastal-buffers The autumn may be a time when Great Bay Estuary is particularly vulnerable to the effects of coastal and ocean acidification, according to new 91制片厂 research. ]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2022 08:00 -0400 Rebecca Irelan /unhtoday/2022/06/coastal-buffers /unhtoday/2019/08/nasa-lands-unh NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine and U.S. Sen.
