Climate stories from frozen archives

Layers of regurgitated stomach oil preserved by snow petrels are helping ERC grantee Erin McClymont trace how Antarctic ecosystems have responded to past climate shifts. Her research offers a rare glimpse into history that could inform predictions…

How tiny plankton capture carbon

Oceans play a crucial role in regulating our climate by trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. While most scientists believe this process mainly occurs in temperate and polar oceans, Sophie Bonnet has discovered the tropical ocean's surprising…

Revealing the secret life of sharks in a warming ocean

Although it is widely known that global warming has a direct impact on our ecosystems, there is little information about its effects on oceans’ top predators, such as pelagic sharks and tunas. How does ocean deoxygenation brought about by climate…

Will climate change strengthen tsunami-like floods in Europe?

By the end of the 21st century, sea levels are estimated to rise between 40 and 60 centimetres worldwide. Coping with this will be a major challenge for many European coastal communities. ERC grantee Jadranka Šepić at the University of Split in…

Busting the myths about ocean plastic

There is much more to marine plastic pollution than meets the eye. In his quest to set the record straight about this litter, Erik van Sebille, an oceanographer at Utrecht University, is garnering international interest from the public, media,…

New hope for coral reefs

Corals are one of the most beautiful and fascinating ecosystems in the world. However, due to rising sea temperatures, pollution and ocean acidification, they are also one of the most threatened. Pioneering work of ERC grantee Tali Mass shows that…
