Europe's water bodies are in poor condition: more than half of them are heavily polluted with chemicals. This is hardly surprising—every day, up to 70,000 different chemicals are used in Europe's ...

Near-Earth asteroid Bennu has a slim chance of colliding with Earth in 2182. If it does, the impact could trigger a global ...

One group of microbes that preserve very well in lake sediments is the diatoms. These single-celled algae have delicately ...

Sometimes the connections we make between disparate things are less than obvious. For Debra Edgerton, the connection between ...

A new climate modeling study published in the journal Science Advances by researchers from the IBS Center for Climate Physics ...

We also suggested that a warming climate will simultaneously enhance the productivity of large phytoplankton, such as diatoms, in coastal regions, owing to increased wind-driven upwelling 1.

Their recent study demonstrates* that the fossil remains of diatoms (a type of algae) can efficiently remove contaminants from water after being chemically modified. Researchers have identified ...

Most phytoplankton, composed of diatoms, algae, Cyanobacteria and other organisms which perform photosynthesis, are beneficial and essential to the ecology of our lakes and the food web fueling our ...

Our diatom research is focused on the pursuit of comparative biology: the systematics, evolution and biogeography of freshwater diatoms. The research covers both extinct and extant taxa, and utilises ...

I became excited about algae, and diatoms in particular, during amazing field experiences at the University of Michigan Biological Station and Iowa Lakeside Lab. I received a MS degree (Biological ...
